### "User experience as an exhibitor at a conference"

February 20, 2024

5.0

This significantly impacted my ability to reach customers at a conference. I was able to meet with everyone I needed to see and connect attendees to follow up information through the app.

Pros

Ease of connecting with conference attendees and access to presentation materials.

Cons

I didn’t receive timely notifications by text, but that could’ve been a settings error on my part.

### "Event Attendee Mobile App User's Review"

January 17, 2023

5.0

Great software that helps the attendees better track their event schedules and also helped people network better to build a community around the event.

Pros

It made tracking the event schedule so much easier than say a printed agenda, especially with the multiple changes I made with which breakouts I was attending. The mobile app has an excellent ease of use. I have not used other meeting and events app to compare but I will be delighted for future events that will also have this platform for its attendees.

Cons

PRE-EVENT ACCESS - This may not be a software issue but rather a matter of our company admin's event setting however, we didn't have visibility to the event on the app until the event's day of. I think there should be a pre-event setup functionality that will enable a sneak peek /summary agenda and an ability for event attendees to set up their user profile so we can prepare better in advance to prepare and network at the event. When the event is live, we don't have too much time to be setting up user profiles.

### "User friendly app"

August 15, 2023

5.0

Very efficient tool and enabled me to thoroughly enjoy the 3 days symposium and not having to stress about trying to find location, writing details and taking notes.

Pros

Very easy to use and navigate for a first-time user and IT challenged like me.

Cons

I did not find anything I didn't like about Whova. Efficient, hassle-free, real-time updates and was very easy for me to navigate. I was skeptical and very nervous when I learned an app is to be used during the event, but I am glad I took the plunge and downloaded it. People may find this funny but as my son would say ' mom, you are finally moving with time':)

### "Great for virtual engagement"

January 13, 2023

5.0

When we had to switch our annual writers conference virtual due to the pandemic, Whova saved the day.

Pros

My favorite part of Whova is how easy it makes interacting with other event attendees in a virtual sphere. We have run two conferences through Whova, one fully virtual and one hybrid. In both cases, we got a ton of engagement from attendees in the Whova space. It was easy for us as conference administrators to get and answer attendee questions as well. Virtual attendees were able to get everything they needed in one convenient package, and in-person attendees were able to utilize and enjoy the online aspects as well.

Cons

Whova does kind of hold your money hostage; if you take registration through them, you don't get most or all of the money until after the event is over. The first year we did registration via a different system to avoid this. But the second year we just gave in and let them hold our money because the registration process was so much simpler.

### "Whova made CALICO happen for the UK"

June 29, 2023

5.0

I realise that I can tap into the platform regularly to attend other events and also access a range of speakers and talks. will use it in the future to promote my own research and continue to connect with others.

Pros

I loved this platform. Couldn't attend CALICO in person but was able to connect with attendees from around the world. The conference programme was laid out in detail and could see attendees for my own talk in advance. Ability to post additional presentation materials in advance and to pose and answer questions.

Cons

I had hoped that some of the main panels would post a live stream but guess this was individual decision from organizer. I wasn't always sure which talks I could attend as a virtual attendee and signed up for events that turned out to be face-to-face only.

### "Misrepresentation of package at time of purchase"

November 16, 2022

3.0

Not good. Their customer service rep changed several times. We were sold a package with a waiver for a feature that they did not honour. They instead offered us this off 'our next event'. Misrepresentation at the time of hardselling to get the deal. Bad unethical business practice. They don't honour agreements made and blame internal issues instead of servicing the paying customer. I would never use this product again.

Pros

Attendee interaction was useful as we had a hybrid event.

Cons

Too many add-ons required to make it work well. It is not user-friendly.

### "Review for Whova"

September 10, 2022

4.0

It is a great product for access controls, permissions, attendance management and attendee tracking when it comes to event management software.

Pros

The product is easy to install, learn to use, manage, etc.. It has a very friendly user interface.

Cons

The product is easy to use, but some attendants have already complained about the way to access the events.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Whova

Strong access control/permissions and user tracking.

### "Attending Seminars in 21st Century"

October 27, 2020

5.0

The cost of attending conferences can be staggering. Not only for registration but travel and staying at the conference. Using Whova to organize the conference allows the attendees much more freedom and ease in attending and tracking where you need to be.

Pros

Whova is a wonderful addition for any conference. I first used Whova in 2018 while attending RTUC in Las Vegas. As you can imagine, this is an enormous place with lots of things to do for a first time visitor. Whova let me organize my agenda, set up meetings and after hours get togethers, all in one place. I loved being able to look in one place to find what was coming up. This year our conference was done online only. The usual get togethers and lunches were missing but Whova still made it personal. We had pictures, messages, events, question and answers from sessions and even a leader board to show who was doing the best. I would love to attend future events online as long as Whova is a part of them. You truly have a very easy to use and appealing app. Thank you for making attending yearly Conferences more enjoyable even during the Pandemic.

Cons

I don't really have any complaints. I think Whova has a very appealing look and very user friendly

### "Used it for a Spiritual Growth Conference and Loved the Functionality!"

September 26, 2023

5.0

I really liked using Whova for the conference I attended last week. It was great for agendas, contacts, messages, photos, and information from the organizers.

Pros

It worked great for choosing what agenda options to add for my personal agenda, including choices of breakout sessions. But I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of finding others attending the conference and meeting up with them!

Cons

I disliked all the notifications I was receiving, but ended up finding it was my fault and changed the settings!

### "Way to go Whova"

December 18, 2018

4.0

This app was good to have to help me interact with others at the Convention, too bad one it over its over. I wasn't able to access the information like photos after the conference had been over for a while.

Pros

I found this software very helpful in keeping up the events at the Phi Theta Kapp National Convention. There were thousands of people and so many events it was overwhelming at times. I liked how the software helps you meet others at the convention, displays photos of events and there is ecen a messaging feature.

Cons

The only drawback I had using this software was trying to find an log onto the PTK Convention in the first place. It has been a year so maybe that issue was fixed. You had to wait and get a code to join the Convention, maybe PTK could have sent the code with the confirmation emails or something.

### "Whova"

November 2, 2023

3.0

I have given them my feedback but nothing has changed.

Pros

The app seems to work well for attendees.

Cons

As an admin it is extremely clunky and not intuitive at all. Printing off session attendee lists is painful and time consuming. Being able to view and/or print off individual attendees' schedules is not available.

### "Good value"

March 22, 2023

4.0

I was pleasantly surprised by the application's design and functionality. didn't have any glitches or error screens. Well done!Good application.

Pros

Very user-friendly interface, a straightforward menu, and was easy to navigate between pages and options, and liked notifications that were posted right on my home screen.A good forum option, has clean text and not bothering with constant reminders.

Cons

Was a bit difficult to understand how to share my contacts with others. Maybe when I'm sharing contacts thru the QR code it could gather and forward not only my email but a WeChat connect, as well.

### "I really enjoyed using Whova App"

September 21, 2023

5.0

This was my first time using this app for a conference and I am so glad we no longer need to publish thick binders for the attendees.

Pros

The ability keep the conference agenda, abstracts of all talks and questions/answers all in one place was very useful. It was also very easy to communicate with other attendees using this app.

Cons

None. There wasn't anything I disliked about Whova. Only regret is not using it sooner.

### "End User for Housing California Conference"

April 4, 2023

3.0

I'm glad there is an app for the conference. I personally prefer the app to a paper program. I think that the app format and user interface should use some improvements

Pros

That it provided a helpful guide to the conference and the workshops

Cons

I think the formatting could use some re-design. Workshop description type is small. Some of the features like meetups are too confusing to easily follow and use
