GROUP networking: sign up for braindate workshops
Group networking & workshops: APPLY TO HOST
This year we are facilitating networking in several ways for attendees of SaaStr Annual to maximize the great founders, revenue leaders, investors, or next great hire you can meet.
One of the ways we do this is via Braindates Group Networking & Workshops.
Once live, attendees will be able to book/suggest Small Group Networking Sessions (5 attendees per group) and book into an existing Braindate Workshops (30+ attendees per group.)
No matter the size of the group, each Braindate Workshop is designed for you to share knowledge and network with fellow leaders during SaaStr Annual. The goal is to help each other learn something new, find mentorships, create partnerships, and exchange strategies.
There will be 3 ways to participate in Braindate Group Networking & Workshops:
You can apply to host a Braindate Workshop. Apply below to lead a 30-person Braindate Workshop - formal slides required, non-vendor commercial.
You can apply to host a Small Group Networking Session. Apply below (or directly in-app once launched) to lead a 5-person group networking discussion. Topics and guided conversation points required, non-vendor commercial. (You can also apply to host a small group directly in the app as a paid ticket holder, once live on April 1st.)
Once the platform is live on April 1st, any paid ticket holder can join any of the live Small Group Networking Sessions or Workshops and add them to your overall SaaStr Annual agenda.
All Small Group Networking Sessions and Braindate Workshop topics are moderated - meaning it goes to our speaker team for approval before it's accepted and available for attendees. Everything has to be from a strict thought leadership perspective. We do not accept topics that are commercial, pitchy, or related to your product or services.
Submitting a Group Networking Session or Workshop does not guarantee attendance. Your topic has to be good! Timely, thought-leadership topics often perform the best.
Applications are NOW OPEN for both Small Group Networking Sessions and Braindate Workshops.
Apply below to be considered:
Prior to submitting, please carefully review our Speaker Values and Editorial Requirements.
