### "Whova Review"

February 16, 2023

4.0

Overall, Whova is an excellent platform for online and offline event management, with a comprehensive range of features that greatly facilitate event planning and management. Although some features may be difficult to customize and Whova's fees may be high for small events, this is largely offset by the quality of the platform and overall user satisfaction. I therefore recommend Whova to anyone looking to organize large-scale events, whether online or offline.

Pros

The positive aspect of Whova is that it is a comprehensive and easy-to-use platform for managing both online and offline events. Whova's features, such as registration and ticketing, event agenda, real-time communication with attendees, and live streaming, are all very useful and well-designed. Additionally, the Whova mobile app is very convenient for attendees as it allows them to easily follow the program, connect with other participants, and ask questions to speakers.

Cons

A negative aspect of Whova is that some features can be a bit complicated to set up and customize according to the needs of the event. Additionally, Whova's fees can be high for small events, which may not be accessible to all budgets.

### "Amazing Addition to any Event"

October 24, 2023

4.0

Overall, I highly recommend the app to anyone facilitating a large event with multiple panels and speaking engagements. It made the event feel more personal. Its a great way to keep people hyped about the event and also create a buzz around all the events and meet-up opportunities.

Pros

As an event attendee, the Whova app played a pivotal role in my attendance. The app allowed me to prepare well in advance, get familiar with each speaking engagement, and connect with other attendees. All of which, really encouraged my involvement with the week-long events. One great opportunity was the virtual meet-ups that I was able to create. Also, the leaderboard was a great idea. This kept attendees coming back to the app every day if not multiple times a day.

Cons

Really, the downside was more technical issues. App refresh issues, continuity between app and full website, and things of that nature. Not being able to click on a user's name or photo within chats to get to their full profile. Things that would make it easier to navigate. One major issue was when I set up my virtual meet-up I was not able to find info on how to facilitate. I need to plan things out, so I wasn't sure how the meeting would go. And, quite honestly between the time I made the meet-up to the night before, I forgot that the Whova app would be able to host the virtual meetup so I decided to host it on Zoom.

### "Whova Leveled Up my Conference Experience"

November 8, 2022

5.0

When getting ready for an upcoming conference, the event organizers suggested we as attendees install the conference app, Whova. I'd used similar apps in the past that were buggy, slow, and were honestly worse to interact with than the hard copy event agenda, so my expectations were not high. However, Whova blew me away. The ability to introduce myself to other attendees and see the organizations and bios of others helped me prepare for the conference in a way I had never been able to - I knew exactly who I wanted to network with in advance. I also loved the ability to customize my own event agenda, but still easily toggle back to the full agenda...we've all been in the situation at conferences where all the talks sound good and end up changing our mind, and Whova made that seamless. I honestly don't want to attend another event that DOESN'T use Whova. I loved it that much. I will note that it was clear our event organizers worked hard to make sure content was up to date, and they did a lot of legwork to get attendees to use the app - without that advance effort from the organizers I don't think Whova would have been optimally utilized and it could have completely changed my perception of the app. Go Whova and go conference organizers for making this awesome!

Pros

The networking! I loved that I could peruse attendees like I was scrolling through a mini LinkedIn and connect with them there. It not only made it easy to find the people I wanted to talk to during the conference, but also made it easy to find people again after the conference to add them on real LinkedIn.

Cons

While I liked the way you could take notes within each event space on the app, it would have been awesome to be able to link my notes and the pre-uploaded presentation to my own notes app. This is so minor, though.

### "Whova for Events "

November 24, 2023

5.0

Pros

As the company admin, I plan and attend most events that we sponsor. This app made it very easy for my staff to gain access to the event without having to have me print tickets or itineraries.

Cons

Our company made an event after the conference and promoted it within the app but it was difficult for me to find after it was published. Seems maybe it would be beneficial to have a separate space within the app that has your activity in one space, so it is easy to find.

### "WIC WITH WHOVA "

April 30, 2024

5.0

I enjoyed the service. I would be inclined to recommend this product to others to help organize their programs as well.

Pros

Easy to use app. VERY friendly and maneuverable product. It helped me get around during my conference. It helped me keep track of my up coming classes and locations that I needed to be at next.

Cons

It took a bit of time to down load to my private phone and the to set up a profile before I could use.

### "Easy to navigate and engage with others"

September 19, 2023

5.0

Wonderful

Pros

Creating a Leaderboard and various ways to set-up meet-ups and polls was wonderful. Live streaming, chat, etc. was a great integrated feature along with setting up your agenda ahead of time to save time and organize your day.

Cons

Our group reached maximum number of polls and topic could not be organized by users. There should be an easy button to change notification settings as well.

Reason for choosing Whova

Cost and package offerings

### "Whoa Made our Teacher Training Event Engaging"

June 16, 2022

5.0

Thanks Whova Team for creating a very engaging conference app that made interactions and connections and sharing fun.

Pros

I liked earning points for the many different ways we had to interact with each other, sharing questions, polls, surveys, pictures, videos, other conferences and such. I like being able to connect with other teacher attendees and our speakers/trainers.

Cons

I got so used to using Whova that I expected my second training to use the app for video conferencing, when instead the video conference link was sent to my email. Whova was that immersive daily for me. But this is mostly my higher expectations of it.

### "No more fumbling through paper agenda at the conference!"

April 12, 2023

5.0

It may be difficult to move away from a paper program but it's worth it to give Whova a try. No more paper, losing it or shuffling through it. Everything about the conference in my phone. Genius!

Pros

Whova was easy to use, intuitive. I appreciated seeing all the sessions available for the day, selecting which breakout sessions I wanted to go, then saving it My Agenda. I was able to see descriptions of each session and complete the survey at the end of each session right in the App.

Cons

I thought Whova has come a long way. I used it a few years ago and it was more cumbersome then and wasn't easy to use. This time (in Spring of 2023) it worked like a charm and had all the features I wish it had a few years back.

### "First Time User - Great Experience"

May 9, 2022

5.0

Pros

Finding where everything was at the conference meant I didn't have to worry about finding an organizer sitting at an info booth. It probably really streamlined everything for the organizers. At my leisure I could connect with other attendees, quickly and easily.

Cons

Nothing really a little new to the app so it made the learning curve take a hot minute but that was solved with the ease of navigating the app once or twice.

### "Used Whova as an event attendee."

October 11, 2022

5.0

If you are considering to use Whova for your events, simply do it. Most of the times event registration apps are unusable or error prone. With Whova, things just work from the word go. The organizer had also used Whova well by providing all content, which made the app a pleasure to use.

Pros

Ability to narrow down selected attendees who you want to network with and connect with them was great.

Cons

The part about managing your contacts was a little less intuitive. If I sent someone a request, those contacts moved to a different place in the app. Initially I had a challenge in understanding this part of the interface.

### "Whova Review for WREX 2023"

April 25, 2023

5.0

I had a good overall experience with using the App for the first time.

Pros

Ability to add sessions to my agenda creating a calendar for the event with the ability to have notifications. Ability to rate sessions from My Agenda immediately after a session ended. Ability to message attendees individually.

Cons

Gamification of the event led to people posting "." as a question to get points toward their ranking.

I enjoyed the experience. It helped over all to know what was happening for the day and what to expect next.

Pros

Loved the ease of signing people in and instant feedback for sessions.Could easily keep everyone informed of changes as needed.it was nice to have schedule info at my fingertips that was not getting mixed up in the paper pile shuffle mix up. Push of a button and I knew what was next.

Cons

Was much easier once we had access to the internet.

### "It's worth figuring it out!"

October 25, 2022

5.0

I attended a north American conference that used Whova. I have no idea about pricing or if we would be able to afford it in the future - also not sure it's a good tool for us in house. But I will be sharing the information with our liaison at the municipal government level for their consideration as they have more funding than we do and provide a week long conference each year.

Pros

Although it took me a while to make time to dive into Whova, I found I came away with so much more than just webex or zoom workshops. It connected me to other conference attendees, to the facilitators and to folks that were experiencing similar issues/successes/challenges across boundaries.

Cons

It took me some time to explore and understand how to use it. I was super busy and kept putting it off - I'm a bit of a technical dinosaur!

July 19, 2022

No disappointment's to speak of

Pros

The most satisfying part is the ability to interact through the chat room, it was easy to use and did not require any technical knowledge.

Cons

There were some instances where the live stream became garbled and unable to view, not sure what the problem was. At my end I attended the AVECO conference virtually from home using Google Fiber so my end I do not believe there were any issues on a hardware level.

October 18, 2023

It made the conference even easier and more enjoyable. Able to meet new people that I may not have had sessions with, learn more through the Q&A, having access to real time updates and the schedule of events was great!

Pros

Cons

Notified that you had new/unread items, but had to dig around to find themNot always clear where to find specific things, but that may have been how the organizers set things up

### "Whova for a Virtual Event Win! "

October 9, 2020

5.0

With six weeks to go for a virtual 4-day conference, Whova met all the requirements we were looking for in a virtual conference experience for both the organization and the attendees. The price point was ideal for a small organization, and their a la cart pricing helps keep within any budget. It was a very successful event for the organization and discussion is to have some virtual option moving forward, even if we still hold an in-person event.

Pros

A Small non-profit I work with moved their in-person event to virtual event for 2020. With 6 weeks until the event start in September, a decision was made to move it to a more robust option allowing for sponsor interaction. Whova came through for us in many ways - financially, user-friendly for both back end and attendee end, integration with already existing registration platform - RegFox, Zoom interface, meeting rooms, session surveys and robust reporting. Any issues we had and sent support emails were addressed in a timely manner. They offer several help documents and videos to walk you through various set-up and troubleshooting.

Cons

Be aware that Whova has their own drip-campaign of emails they send to those attending your event. We were not aware of these prior to them sending, and it cause a bit of confusion and frustration on our end. We are not able to see in advance nor edit those emails, which also contained information not pertinent to our virtual event. We did address this with our sales person in our post-event meeting, and this is an issue they are aware of and addressing.

Reason for choosing Whova

We looked at private video production companies to oversee the event with price tags of $15k - $70k. We are very pleased with the results we had with Whova and hiring out a consultant via Upwork who did our speakers, session recording and day-of virtual event coordination.

### "Louisiana Jumpstart Convention Whova review"

February 6, 2024

5.0

Wonderful experience using the Whova app!

Pros

I liked the convenience and the simplicity to utilize the app. I loved the more you did on the app the more points you received. So this challenged me to do a few things more than normal like reach out to a co-worker attending the same convention. It was a great app and worked seamlessly. I also loved that my phone's battery was not used heavily when using the app. It was also neat to see that seating was limited or full to capacity in a session.

Cons

I did not like that the maps or direction to a session was not available.

### "Review on Whova"

June 6, 2023

5.0

Whova was really helpful to quickly glance at the program for the day, so that you knew what place you had to be at. Whova has nice little features where you could connect with others and see there profiles which was really nice to those who wanted to connect to others.

Pros

I liked how the app was easy to use and it was clear on the program planning and you could see the events and you could easily click on the speakers if you wanted to learn more about them or collogues or people from other areas that you wanted to connect to.

Cons

I didn't like how the registration aspect in Whova wasn't considered in the conference that I attended. So, you could click on register in a course but it didn't actually transfer to the physical realm which made Whova less useful and it helped more to use a piece of paper that had the program planning.

### "Easy to use app for anyone of all ages!"

October 3, 2023

5.0

Pros

Super easy to use. We used this app for our conference last year so I was very pleased to see that it was being used again this year because I remember how easy it was to navigate. In our industry (construction) we live by our outlook/google calendars - so to have something look very similar to the platforms we use everyday, made it that much better to adapt too. I love the set up of the days at the top and the times with details listed underneath - just makes everything organized.

Cons

Honestly - nothing. As mentioned on the previous page, we had a glitch with a real time update that didn't take place so it confused some people on which room to go to as it was showing the same seminar with the same speaker but in two different rooms. Once the room was changed, the app should have deleted the old room location so that people knew the proper place to go. But no big deal - we helped each other out via the messaging feature!
