This event will take place on the 2nd floor of the Westin Hotel. On the 23rd and 24th doors to the conference open at 7:45 am. We highly recommend getting here 15 minutes early, which will allow you to beat the morning rush. At the door, you will show an Ascent Conference community manager your brella profile. They will then check the attendee list to make sure you are on it. Once they check you off the list they will give you your lanyard. You will then enter the event 🙂

Attendees can bring as many colleagues as they want with them, but they must be a Director, VP, or C-Level executive. To get them signed up, please reach out to our community manager, Austin Mosbach at [email protected].

Our event app will be released 3 weeks before the event.

In order to get into the event app you must be sent a link. If you have not already received your link, my team will reach out soon.

We highly recommend getting into this app about a week and a half before the event so that you can book 1v1 meetings, reserve braindates, and create your very own schedule. We recommend that you download the brella app on your phone so you can easily access your schedule during the event.

Please email our community manager, Austin Mosbach, at [email protected]. He will send you your link asap.

Braindates are knowledge-sharing conversations that you book with others to have one-on-one or in small groups on-site in the Braindate Lounge. They’re the best way to brainstorm, solve challenges, and share expertise or experiences, while connecting with new (brilliant!) people. These conversations are moderated by C-Level & VP-Level leaders.

You will book braindates in our event app, which will be released very soon.

 

Over 70% of our audience are C-level or VP-level executives from companies making 10 million to 1 billion in ARR.

We recommend that you plan out your schedule ahead of time. You should create a flexible schedule for the 23-24th based on the stage content and the braindates that interest you.

Make sure to reserve your braindates right when you get access to the event app. Seats are first come, first serve. Some braindates will be right up your alley and some won’t.

Also, make sure the braindate you plan to participate in does not interfere with stage content that is relevant to you.
