Can I Pick Your Brain? NAIFA Tool Allows Professionals To Think, Share Virtually

New this year to the annual NAIFA conference is a virtual tool called Braindate.

Created by e180 Labs, the idea for Braindate was to encourage collaborative learning through one-on-one dialogues or group conversations.

The social media website allows attendees to create profiles, share their expertise and organize in-person chats about shared interests.

NAIFA President-elect Jill Judd spoke to the possibilities of using programs like Braindate to better the organization.

"NAIFA is committed to being a thought leader and forum to sharing ideas," Judd said.

Addressing the general assembly, Judd urged the room utilize the program as much as possible over the conference weekend.

“Whatever you do, do it now, you don’t want to miss out,” she said.

Once a braindate is scheduled via the app, it can then be held in-person or virtually.

For the duration of the conference, a Braindate lounge is set up in the expo room for attendees looking to share their knowledge with others face-to-face.

Judd called it a way for attendees to “make meaningful connections and productive connections.”
