### "I really enjoyed have the incentives when using WHOVA. I tried to stay in the to 5."

September 6, 2022

4.0

My experience with WHOVA was exciting. I couldn't hardly wait to get started!

Pros

Being able to connect and know who is at the conventions and what they do for each of their communities. And of course doing all the after hours meet and greets. And not to mention where and when too meet each other for doing fun outside the convention.

Cons

Sometimes it took the organizers a while to get back to you when you asked questions. A lot of questions that were asked were concerning the virtual classes. There were a lot of those to choose from.

### "Attendee of Whova event"

April 17, 2024

5.0

I was pleased to see how easy it was to navigate the event with Whova.

Pros

Whova made it easy to navigate during the live stream event that I attended. What I really liked that I was able to see the agenda for the event the whole time. I could also mark in advance the sessions that I planned to attend. Whova also made it fun to participate in some of the chats and side meetings taking place,

Cons

Some of the presenters had some difficulty loading up their presentations and getting started, but that may have just been user error, not Whova.

### "Advantages of Using Whova at a Conference"

February 18, 2020

5.0

At the Cority conference in Nashville, I was able to set my schedule for sessions that related to me and take notes at those conferences from the app. It allowed me to set up networking with others in my field. The opportunity that Whova extends for engagement between attendees is phenomenal. All attendees were able to communicate like issues with current software usage, likes, dislikes, schedule meetups, give tips, and just share fun things about each other within the community. Attendees have the ability to message each other within the app, as well as, exchange information. Whova is wonderful organizational and communication tool for conferences. It allows you the functionality and flexibility to stay connected. Even after the conference, I am still able to stay connected and message with my new networking contacts within the app.

Pros

Whova is great for the ease of setting schedules, networking opportunities, functionality, flexibility, user friendly interface, ability to create meetups, ability to share memories through photo sharing, and the engagement opportunities with other attendees at the conference. I also like that you can still communicate with other attendees (networking opportunities) even after the conference is over.

Cons

I have used the Whova app at several Cority conferences, and I have yet to find any negative issues.

### "Great way to get continuing education"

April 25, 2023

5.0

This is great because I can get a lot of continuing education without a lot of additional expenses when I am unable to travel to the conference in person. Having the ability to download the documents for all the presentations is great as the PWN SLP Summit always has so many presentations and it is hard to choose between which to listen to.

Pros

I love that I can get some additional education online without having to travel for it. It makes it a lot easier to listen and follow along without setting transportation and hotels. Saturday online conferences are great as I can still get things done at home and watch my son as well.

Cons

Making sure those online hear the speaker all the time. It was uncertain whether the presentation was starting until someone asked about it. Sometimes I could not use the feature to mute my microphone. Not sure if that was just an issue with zoom or not.

### "Great for the cost"

October 19, 2023

4.0

Was great overall but ultimately we needed to go in another direction. We wanted everything (or as close to it) offered and tracked in the same place.

Pros

Gamification was a big hit with our event. For those that were able to figure out the app there were many features that they enjoyed.

Cons

The mobile app was difficult to use and it did not provide everything that we needed in one place. Our participants did not like the app and many ended up not using it at all.

### "WLA related answers"

April 5, 2023

5.0

Whova served well in connecting librarians during the WLA conference. Thanks!

Pros

I attended the WLA virtually, and I greatly appreciated being able to participate in the conference via Zoom and interact with other participants, building a network of librarians.

Cons

I would like to have more available virtual conferences, but this could also be an issue deriving from the conference organizers (not directly related to Whova's capabilities).

### "Lots of Wonderful information!"

November 27, 2023

5.0

My overall experience with Whova is very good! It has been an amazing resource to see, her, and learn new things through other people. I really enjoy hearing the speakers talk and teach us in different topics to help us grow in many ways. I can't wait for the next conference next year!

Pros

What I liked the most about Whova is that I am able to learn new things and grow as I become a better teacher and Christian. I love how I can go back and look at the videos, documents, slides, etc to point them out and save them for later use.

Cons

What I liked the least about Whova is that sometimes its hard to keep up with the live stream videos and the lagging that occurs during the conferences. Other than that, I love everything else.

### "Delightful Experience"

April 25, 2023

5.0

Very Good.

Pros

The Whova app is very friendly and easy to navigate. I was able to view agendas, conference registrants, and social events relating to the conference. Having all that information available at your fingertips on my phone is great. Anytime there is a conference update and important information it sent an alert. While attending conferences hosted on Whova, I visit the app regularly for updates. Finally, I don't have to tote around any conference notebooks.

Cons

I have not had any negative experiences with the Whova app. The alerts are often annoying and thought it might be nice to have an option to receive update alerts or shut them off. But for the most part, I like Whova.

### "As a frequent user - there's nothing better"

October 12, 2022

5.0

I really appreciate the ability to look at other attendees profiles and see where they're from and connect. I've made a lot of connections this way and really love that function. It's also really easy to find event info (assuming event organizers add it in) and get updates when something changes.

Pros

As an attendee of events that use Whova, I love how seamless it is. I'm involved as a board member for some of these event organizations and the staff loves it as well.

Cons

There's nothing I don't care for. I know some users had problems with connectivity inside conference halls - so contributing questions for a speaker via the app, and staff receiving them can be a problem. Not sure what the

### "Stunning templates"

August 1, 2022

4.0

We hosted many events with Whova and all were a success, Whova had the biggest effect on the online only events. They wouldn't have been possible without it.

Pros

Whova has the best templates and I like the way events are presented to attendees. The chat and announcement function was a success. Notifications are sent through Whova and through email meaning attendees will receive them even if they're not logged in. Event maps were another plus. Whova is priced well in some ways you're only paying for what you're using which is awesome!

Cons

I don't think Whova is intuitive or easy to use. It's very annoying to have to repeat a process or start a selection over several times. I'll be trying to choose something and I when I click somehow I'm sent back to the start screen... customer service was nice but they couldn't give me an explanation or solution.

### "The experience is fine in general"

September 20, 2023

5.0

Pros

The agenda function is good. This makes the whole conference very clear. As a sponsor, we can upload a lot of material to help people get to know us better.

Cons

Although the contact exchange function is useful, no one uses it. Maybe the attendees are not familiar with how to operate it, or they don’t know that this feature exists. Contact information is mainly exchanged through paper business cards. I hope to be able to introduce and promote this function to everyone in the future, such as putting up an introduction video.

### "Whova is a game changer-minor revisions requested"

October 5, 2022

5.0

Awesome! I loved the mobile app and what it does. The only draw back for me as a vendor is that I do not have time to contact 300 + attendees individually and give only a 200 character message for intro. Retaining contacts info is critical for vendors for future outreach from an event lead. If the attendee didn't enroll in my raffle or if I didn't get direct approval for contact info--I lost that opportunity to connect. That needs to be tweaked. Most sales/vendors do not have that kind of time to reach out to 300 + attendees per and send a message. I loved the function to connect with attendees in 15 min chat sessions during the event. I loved the blog posts and engagement. I would refer this to anyone who needs event planning services.

Pros

Appointment setting during the event with new leads is great! Export list of contacts from the app is nice to but needs some slight revisions for ease.

Cons

Need additional characters for messages, 200 characters is extremely limited for an intro or request to meet, retain contact info especially if they have never met that person or vendor.

### "Great for Virtual Conferences and Networking!"

March 14, 2023

5.0

Very positive experience. Really enjoyed interacting virtually and felt connected to the conference.

Pros

I loved the interactive nature despite being a virtual format. Very easy to find others with common interests to connect with and set up meet ups etc. Ease of use was phenomenal. Easy to customize for your own experience.

Cons

I wish the notes section was not so far below the presenter screen as I was unable to see the presentation and take notes at the same time. Perhaps it was just my screen or there is a work around I am unaware of as this was my first time using Whova.

### "Everything made mobile and compact"

October 11, 2023

5.0

It's a great app and I wish everyone used it, no matter what industry. I'd love to be the person selling this to conferences and advertisers/sponsors. This is much better and I am sure cheaper than using printed material to attempt to do the same!

Pros

It's easy to use and has everything you need for a conference...reminders, contacts, direct messaging. Quite remarkable.

Cons

Maybe if it connected me to the contacts and then allowed me to use my linked in to further extend that connection it would be great.

### "Enthusiastic user"

October 17, 2023

5.0

Excellent.

Pros

I did not see that any event (I attend many) is as well supported as IFEAT who uses Whova to offer the user an outstanding capacity to anticipate on the event, network & schedule meetings during the 3 months preceding the event. It has set my expections high and I am repeatedly disappointed at other events for the set up the offer. Also the months following the event I can replay the conferences I have no time to follow during the event.

Cons

I do not use the agenda as I want my meetings tracked in my outlook.Also the tool is not very intuitive.When I am in the messages function with a specific attendee, I would like to have an icon to access the profile of the attendee without exiting the message session. Today I must exit, go to the attendee, check the info, go back to message.
