What makes it different from networking?
Intentional
Every conversation has a clear topic, making it easy to connect with people who share your interests or expertise
Collaborative
Instead of quick chats or sales pitches, Braindates are structured to encourage knowledge-sharing, problem-solving, and co-creation
Inclusive
Whether you’re an experienced housing leader or new to the sector, everyone has something valuable to contribute
How it works
- Register to attend HOMES UK 2026
- Log in to the HOMES UK 2026 event platform and set up your Braindate profile
- Browse & post topics
- Before and during the event, explore a digital platform where attendees post conversation topics they'd like to discuss.
- You can also create you own "Braindate" topic - whether it's a burning question, a challenge you're facing, or an idea you want to test.
- Book one-to-one or group conversations
- Choose whether you'd like to meet one-on-one for a focused exchange or join a small group session to share perspectives with several peers.
- Meet at the Braindate lounge
- A dedicated lounge at the event will serve as your meetings spot
- Hosts will guide you to your conversation table so you can dive straight into meaningful dialogue
