About Whova
Whova is a cloud-based event management solution that enables businesses, universities, exhibitors, and government organizations to engage with attendees, generate name badges, handle online registration processes, and host video conferences. It lets organizers restrict event access to registered attendees, view recorded sessions and streams in a unified platform, and inform audiences about conference updates via push notifications.
Whova allows event managers and hosts to create mobile event brochures, collect speakers' information using customizable templates, and interact with audiences using various built-in tools such as Q&A sessions, surveys, feedback, live polls, and discussions. The online registration module lets administrators create customizable ticketing pages, embed widgets into corporate websites, and receive payments via credit cards. Organizers can utilize the web-based dashboard, mobile applications, and QR codes to facilitate check-in processes during events, gain visibility into engagement rates through reports, and monitor ticket sales, gamified activities, and poll results in real-time.
Whova helps universities promote events and improve social outreach by creating promotional websites and scheduling posts across social media channels. Attendees can utilize the mobile application to access session agendas, navigate directions of event venues using GPS, and receive notifications from organizers regarding important updates.

Overall, Whova is a great platform that I've used for work conferences. I enjoy the many different features such as the schedule (that you can add to your personal calendar right from the Whova app), the notifications when a session is starting, speaker powerpoints/materials available for download, community messaging board, and more! Great app!
Pros
Whova is easy to use and has a lot of helpful features. You can customize your notification preferences and it fulfills several needs all in one place!
Cons
The only thing I could think of is that at times when using it for a conference, there were powerpoints attached to the speaker's profile and sometimes it wouldn't load correctly.

Whova was very helpful when planning what events I wanted to attend during the SCABSE Winter Conference.
Pros
Whova provided a detailed schedule, as well as options for what sessions were available. Whova allowed me to make a custom schedule based on what talks or groups I wanted to participate in. Whova also provided a place to post pictures and questions for different sessions, as well as interact with other attendees.
Cons
Whova had a lot of different components that made it overwhelming.

I've had a great experience with Whova using it for an annual charity fundraising event and appreciate the attentive customer service I've received.
Pros
The fee structure of Whova is far and away better than other event platforms I've used. We use Whova for a fundraising event, so lower fees help us raise more money for charity. Everything on the platform is super intuitive and user-friendly.
Cons
It's not a con, but there are a lot of features I don't use on the platform so I don't necessarily use it to the most of its capabilities.

It was helpful and easy to navigate. The agenda was extremely convenient to see, before the conference started, what sessions were available.
Pros
I liked that I could see the whole agenda for each day of our conference. I liked the ability to choose which session I wanted to attend before the conference even started.
Cons
There were a lot of notifications that were not pertinent to me. It would be great to only get notifications about the meet-ups I chose.
