BRAINDATE
What is a braindate?
At STI & HIV 2025, you’re here to meet amazing people and learn new things. So, how do you spark meaningful conversation? It starts with a Braindate.

Looking to go beyond presentations and truly connect with others in your field? Whether you’re a junior doctor, researcher, community advocate, or global health leader, Braindate is your space for peer-to-peer knowledge exchange.
The platform lets you engage in focused one-on-one or small group conversations – called “braindates” – with fellow delegates who share your interests, questions, or expertise. It’s more than just a networking tool: it’s a collaborative experience designed to foster learning, dialogue, and meaningful connection.
Everyone is welcome to create or join topics – from scientific discussions and community-based insights to policy, lived experience, and beyond. Explore the topic marketplace to join expert-led braindates, participate in focus groups, or spark your own conversations around emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in sexual health. By contributing a topic, you help shape the event’s content in real time – adding value that extends well beyond the main stage.
Recognized by Fast Company as one of the most innovative live-event platforms globally, Braindate is also trusted by leading Fortune 500 companies for driving high-impact learning and connection.
