Frequently Asked Questions
What is a virtual event platform?
A virtual event platform is an application that is used to host, manage, and broadcast virtual or hybrid events such as conferences, trade shows, workshops and more. It specializes in tools such as attendee registration, live streaming, online networking and engagement, and virtual booths in order to provide an experience close to an in-person event.
What is the best platform for virtual meetings?
The best platform for virtual meetings depends on the event’s focus. For full event experiences that include registration, engagement and live streaming, choose Whova. For meeting focused events, choose platforms with high live streaming reliability like Zoom Events. For 3D experiences and spaces, choose platforms with 3D environments and digital experience creation like Vfairs.
What kind of virtual events can I host in Whova?
Whova is able to host a variety of virtual events from trade shows to conferences. Whova has reliable event management tools such as registration and attendee management to get your event started.
