Jason: Hi, my name is Jason. I am a lieutenant for a police department in Colorado. I give Whova a five out of five. For more reviews like this, please click below. So I was first exposed to Whova about two years ago while attending a pretty large scale conference in another state. And just a couple of months after, I was to help plan and organize another conference here in the state. Whova was very helpful in that it really saved our time and resources, helped with attending networking, and also, it was a huge aid in communication between conference organizers and attendees, exhibitors and attendees. And then, again, as I mentioned, that networking between the attendees themselves. What I like best about Whova is the reliance on the digital, technology, and cellphones. We've really gone away from written agendas, curriculums, and in-person registration. So the Whova app allows you to do all these things over the phone. You can do virtual check-ins. You can facilitate dialogue and discussion with attendees with the app itself. As I mentioned before, I've used Whova for a couple of years, both as a user and then a coordinator administrator, and I really can't think of anything negative to say about the application itself. It really, again, has allowed us to save our time and resources, and devote energy towards interacting with attendees at the conference.
