All I can say is that the second event experience was just as incredible as the first time around. The instant chat feature gave us instant answers and our account rep Jon was on top of whatever we needed in a timely and professional manner. We are in our post-event phase at this point and we are providing Jon with our "whova wishlist" for future features this coming week.

I have only 2nd-hand info here. The CEO who put everything together with his team said that Whova support was easy to work with, understanding of his needs & overall went above and beyond to ensure all worked smoothly for attendees. When I put my next local conference on, I'll be sure to follow-up with support to be certain we have the most professional event possible.

I have had two experiences with Whova for customer support, once I lost several contact from a regional conference. Whova for customer support was able to help me recover some of the lost contacts. I also contacted Whova for customer service regarding the loss of being able to interact with the rest of my round-table group members. Sadly, we were not able to reconnect me with with the rest of my round-table group members. I did follow up, but to no avail.
