Braindate Lounge
Braindate (braindate) has reinvented how people meet and learn … and the Braindate Lounge is where it all happens!
We’ve created a fun, comfortable networking space within the Exhibition where you can meet and have meaningful conversations with people who share similar interests as you.
Make sure you’ve checked the Braindate marketplace (available from the conference app (app) two weeks prior to the conference) and check out the topics of conversation or create your own. Once you’ve picked a Braindate, head to the Braindate Lounge on the date and time agreed and meet with others there!
If you have an hour to spare between sessions, why not over to the Braindate Lounge and ask the Braindate Learning Concierge to see what’s happening! Who knows who you might meet?

Massage Corner
They’re back! Take a break from the AIEC grind and get a free neck massage from Evolve College students in the Massage Corner. Evolve College offers massage courses designed by industry experts with a strong focus on leading the massage industry into the future. The founders were the first in the massage industry to introduce draping, and the standards of professionalism they introduced 20+ years ago are now enshrined in the official competencies of VET massage qualifications today. Students from Evolve College will be giving free 15 minute massages to delegates throughout the conference. This time will count towards the hours they require to complete their course.

Coffee
Food, wi-fi and coffee (and not always in that order!) are essential to get through the busy AIEC conference week. Before heading off to your session, Braindate or next appointment, drop by the Allianz or Adelaide Uni or CIBC carts and grab a coffee!
Even better, bring your coffee cup with you and help us be a greener conference.
