Step into the Brain Dates Café - a welcoming, informal session designed to spark real conversations and career insights. This session will focus on authentic peer-to-peer learning.

Join our brain dates café to discuss career development, learn and share with other attendees.

How the brain dates café will work:

• The café is split into different themed tables (or "cafés"), each focused on a key area of career development or personal growth. •
• Attendees will choose three cafés from a curated list of topics.
• At each café, delegates meet with 1–2 other attendees for a 15-minute brain date - an open conversation where they share challenges, experiences, and offer advice.
• Each café will be guided by a menu of prompts to guide conversations.
• After 15 minutes, delegates will pick a new café to attend.
