Thank you! Your submission has been received!
Conferences are full of keynotes, panels, and hallway hellos. But the conversations that change the way you think often happen in small circles, where people feel free to share what’s really working — and what isn’t.
That’s exactly what Braindates at Braze Forge 2025 are designed for. Instead of listening passively, you’ll join in raw, unfiltered discussions about the hardest problems in lifecycle marketing today. Propel is proud to host a series of Braindates at this year’s event, and you’re invited.
All Braindates will take place at The Braindate Lounge, The Manor, Las Vegas - right inside the Forge experience.
Our sessions run from September 29 – October 2, 2025.
Unlike panels, Braindates are participant-driven discussions. You’ll join founders, marketers, and practitioners who are wrestling with the same problems you are.
And with Propel at the table, you’ll hear directly from marketers who build and execute lifecycle strategies every day.
How do you balance personalization with privacy in an era of tighter regulations and higher customer expectations? This session will explore frameworks to measure growth, navigate messy data, and build smarter lifecycle funnels.
AI isn’t just a buzzword at Forge - it’s changing how campaigns are built, tested, and optimized. We’ll discuss real implementations: campaign automation, retention triggers, and tools that are reshaping the marketer’s toolkit.
Engaged communities drive long-term loyalty better than ad spend alone. This conversation will unpack how to nurture genuine communities, from strategy to tools, and how to keep them engaged year after year.
Jaskaran is known for pushing brands to think beyond acquisition and focus on retention as their growth engine. He’s helped early-stage and growth-stage companies align data with lifecycle strategy. At Forge, he’ll lead discussions on how data-driven growth is evolving in 2025 - expect strong takes, field-tested advice, and frameworks you can take home.
Ruturaj has worked with fast-moving startups where lifecycle management made the difference between scaling and stalling. He specializes in product-led growth, automation, and experimentation. He’ll guide the session on AI in marketing workflows, breaking down how to move from hype to hands-on execution.
As the technical backbone of Propel, Mayank blends engineering expertise with marketing insight. He has led teams building marketing systems that unify data, speed, and personalization. Mayank will dive into the art and architecture of building communities - bringing a unique mix of technical systems and cultural thinking to the discussion.
Spots are limited — once they’re gone, they’re gone. So don’t wait to claim your seat.
Braze Forge 2025 is the place where marketers set the tone for the year ahead. And the real debates? They’ll be happening at our Braindates.
