Registration for Braindate Now Open for EDUCAUSE Attendees
RESTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Braindate—Ellucian,
the leading provider of software and services built to power higher
education, announced today that it is sponsoring a unique, personalized
experience during the EDUCAUSE
Annual Conference. This experience, called Braindate,
will empower conference attendees to join one-on-one or group
conversations about specific topics of interest during the conference,
which takes place October 30 – November 2, 2018 at the Colorado
Convention Center in Denver, Colorado.
The Braindate
portal is open and will remain active throughout the conference and
will close on Thursday evening, November 1. During that time attendees
can use the conference app to explore and add to the Braindate topic
market, then request or accept invitations to learn more, scheduling a
time to meet other attendees in the Braindate Lounge. A Learning
Concierge will be onsite to greet each participant, facilitate
introductions and provide a comfortable networking environment.
“Our business is centered around the vision of building empowered
campuses and communities––where data and communication silos are broken
down. Our partnership with EDUCAUSE fosters an innovative new way to
spark conversations among peers, and to help the higher ed community
connect, inspire and grow together,” said Kyrsten Musich, Ellucian’s
Vice President of Brand and Marketing Strategy. “Through these intimate
discussions, educators, administrators and vendors come together to
share valuable insights and experiences to help improve higher education
as a whole—and maximize their time at the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference
2018.”
“Networking with colleagues is one of the key reasons to attend the
EDUCAUSE Annual Conference, and peer-to-peer learning is among the top
industry event experience trends,” said Eden Dahlstrom, Vice president
of Professional Learning at EDUCAUSE. “Braindate sessions will make it
easier and more efficient for attendees to meet with people who have
similar interests, exchange ideas and share experiences. We are looking
