What's a Braindate?

Networking is one of the most valuable parts of ACMG 2027. It can still be kind of awkward though, right? That’s why we’re introducing Braindate. One-on-one or small group conversations around the topics you care about, posted by you and fellow attendees. Think focused content with meaningful takeaways.

Got a challenge to solve? A big idea brewing? A research proposal to kickstart? Start with a Braindate. Post your topic, book a chat, or jump into one that speaks to you. Because chances are, someone else wants to talk about the exact thing that’s been on your mind. 

So, start planning—who do you want to meet?

Registered attendees received instructions to access Braindate via the event mobile app. 

Braindates will be held in the Braindate Lounge, which will be open Wednesday, April 14 – Friday, April 16. It will be in the Pratt Street Lobby (near Registration) on the third floor of the Baltimore Convention Center.

Share the excitement! #Braindate #ACMGMtg27

Amazing platform for networking and discussion! Very easy to navigate and find similarly minded individuals and focus topics on my own personal interests like AI and care delivery

I was able to hear from a variety of colleagues and understand their perspectives and know that all of us are in the same boat since we had similar queries. If not for Braindate, I would not have got a chance to meet them informally in another settings.

Braindate offered an opportunity to connect in smaller groups with people interested in the same topics as me. I was able to speak directly with people I wouldn’t otherwise feel confident to approach, and offered a unique opportunity to learn from others.
