How Organizers Scale Success with Whova

Ease of Use & Rapid Setup for New and Experienced Planners

Q: How quickly can I set up my event, and is the software intuitive for beginners?

If you are starting your first event or transitioning to new software, you need a system that “thinks” for you. These organizers highlight the speed of setup, the intuitive interface, and the responsive support that makes even complex events feel manageable.

OBO Meet the Buyer Procurement Forum
Whova’s platform was easy to configure and had our conference up and running in [two weeks]. Their support was very responsive and helped us at every step.
Garrett Wake
Chief of Southern Nevada, Nevada Division of Minerals

SAP Controlling
I’ve tested about fifteen additional event apps. [Attendee] feedback on [Whova] app was universally positive. I ended up having two solid meetings on-site I wouldn’t have had without that app – the first time I can ever say that. I’m pleased by the responsiveness of their team, they are always fast.

Jon Reed
Co-Founder, Diginomica

NFL FLAG Summit
Any problem or any idea we had to add a benefit to users, we would go to the app and start playing around, and we always found a way that Whova had already thought of that in some way, shape, or form.
Danielle Summers
Sr. Director of Events, RCX Sports

Families Can’t Wait
We have our own organization website and we were able to really seamlessly link the information that we wanted to share about the conference between our organization website and the embedded web pages in Whova.
Dana Asby
Project Specialist, National Federation of Families

Sino-American Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Professionals Summit
Whova has been used successfully for several SABPA conferences. Our team has been amazed at the new features and user-friendliness of Whova. The event was a great success. Thanks for your support that streamlined the registration, promotion, and communication process.
Stephanie Shi
EVP, Pfizer

GreenBiz
Our post event survey had lots of excellent feedback on Whova. I don’t think there was one negative comment about the app. We had previously used a different app for our events that didn’t get as great of feedback. And so that was when we started the search for a potential new app and ended up with Whova.
Jessica Coons
Conference Coordinator, GreenBiz

Professional Logistics & Rapid Entry Experience

Q: What is the best way to manage attendee check-in and event logistics?

For event planners, on-site logistics can be the most stressful part of the job. These organizers explain how they used automation to eliminate long lines and handle the “grunt work” of name badges and registration.

Acentria Annual Conference: 2022 BAM!
Whova worked very nicely, we were able to go in, enter the custom dimensions of our special name badges, it exported everything for us. And then our check in lines were not horrendous, like they have been in the past.
Jessica Parkhurst
Senior VP of Marketing and Branding, Acentria Insurance

Generational Wealth Conference
[Check-in] was really simple and easy because we literally could add volunteers to be check in attendance. We didn’t have to get computers we didn’t have to get the RFID equipment barcode scanners, we were just able to add them and they were able to scan people on their phone by the QR code or type in their name.
Loryn Wellman
CEO, ThreeElevenOTwo Events

Bibb County School District Leadership Symposium
We did a little research on some other [event apps] and we came back to Whova because we thought it would be the best fit for our needs, and I have to say it was amazing. It was just one of the best symposiums we’ve had.
Lori Rodgers
Assistant Superintendent, Bibb County School District

Diverse Audience Networking

Q: Which event app is best for networking in events such as university reunions, academic summits or large conferences?

Events like academic and alumni gatherings require a platform that is accessible to all. From tech-savvy students to senior alumni, these organizers found a solution that centralized content and made networking feel natural.

Harvard Kennedy School Alumni Reunion
Utilizing the Whova for our annual alumni reunion was a great success. The platform proved easy to use for alumni of all ages. It greatly enhanced our event experience by centralizing the content so very few questions came through regarding accessing live streams, etc.
Rachel Crinklaw
Alumni Relations Specialist, Harvard University

Canadian Association for University Continuing Education Conference
We had an excellent turnout for the [Speed Networking Tables]. It was a really nice small group but you got enough time to talk and meet people that you wouldn’t necessarily meet if you were in a face-to-face conference.
Deanne Wolfe
Administrative Assistant

102nd National Council for the Social Studies Annual Conference
We published the app about a month ahead of time […] And what was great was to see spontaneously, the number of meetups that were were being scheduled. We had attendees who started that almost immediately […] And I think it really helped to enhance their experience when they were finally in person
David Bailor
Director of Meetings and Exhibits, NCSS

Cost Reduction & Sponsor Revenue

Q: How can I reduce event expenses while providing more value to sponsors?

Budget constraints are the #1 challenge for new organizers. These planners share how they flipped the script by moving from high-cost paper processes to digital systems that actually increased their sponsor revenue.

National Association of Real Estate Brokers Annual Convention
We would normally print a souvenir journal that was about 200 pages of just ads. And we cut that out 100%, which saved us about $30,000 in printing. And now we just add it to Whova.
Shanta Patton
CEO, Patton and Associates – Las Vegas Real Estate Group

National Cyber Security Alliance and NASDAQ Cyber Security Summit
Our sponsors really appreciated having the [exhibitor booth]… it provided us with a nice way to be able to incorporate those extra benefits to let our sponsors showcase their products and services.
Jennifer Cook
Director of Marketing and Communications, National Cyber Security Alliance

Real Estate Staging Association Convention
We found many of our users connecting before even getting to RESACON which was great for building excitement leading up to our event. Our sponsors felt that it added value by allowing them to have their own profiles, individual offers, and ability to connect with attendees directly. We loved the buzz it created.
Felicia Pulley
Creative Director, RESA HQ

Global Engagement & Digital Community Building

Q: How do I increase attendee engagement and collaboration before and during the event?

Successful events are built on community. These testimonials show how to spark engagement long before the first session starts, creating a space where attendees from around the world can collaborate.

California Entrepreneurship Educators Virtual Conference
One thing that worked really well for us was definitely the engagement […] It created not just a conference with great speakers, it now created a space where they were able to meet people from all around the world and talk to each other and collaborate with each other.
Tammy Nguyen
Event Manager

Virtual Miami Maker Faire
We were on the hunt with a very long list of app features. After careful consideration, we decided to transfer our entire platform to the Whova event app. The format of their platform allowed for many opportunities to connect, discuss, and share like would be done in an in-person Maker Faire.

Mario Cruz
Director Watsco Ventures

Future Business Leaders of America National Leadership Conference
All the integration options that we had, particularly the agenda, we were able to put on our website. We didn’t have to go back and forth with updates; it was all automatic, that was really nice!
Lauren McMahon
Digital Marketing Coordinator
