Overall Satisfaction with Whova

I use Whova exclusively for conferences that I attend within my industry, provided that Whova is offered as the conference app by the organizer. Whova is also helpful for post-conference outreach, remaining connected, and for prospecting either prior to or post conference. I find Whova very helpful for conference agendas, scheduled sessions and other ways to connect with conference attendees.

Pros

  • Conference platform and information
  • Additional Resources
  • Connecting with conference attendees
  • In-pocket convenience

Cons

  • Consider adding an Instant Messaging component to interact with conference attendees and colleagues in real time, with notifications.
  • In addition to the photo gallery, could there be added functionality to allow for uploading presentations?
  • Many times attendees are promised access to keynote and session presentations after the conference, but often it is unclear where or when these will be available.
  • N/A I am an attendee, not a conference planner.
  • Whova has helped to connect with conference attendees in advance which can lead to a business relationship, etc.
Whova is generally easy to use and is very functional. Most info I need is available at a glance. I like the advance attendee list function, allowing for pre-conference outreach. Or just a simple "Hey Sam, see you in Denver on Thursday" to conference attendees that you already have a relationship with.

Do you think Whova delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Conference content is the most useful tool, seeing the schedule at a glance, or which breakout room the session you're interested in is held and how to get to it.
