Whova - 2025 [...] Conference Review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I utilized this app while at the 2025 [...]Conference. Overall, I was very impressed with the platform and the networking tools. I loved being able to manage my schedule and have it ready to go to guide my day.
Pros
- Direct networking with attendees and opportunities to meet.
- Organizing the conference's agenda.
- Connected well with the attendee roster available. I really liked the bookmark feature that helped me quickly remember whom I chatted with.
Cons
- I did notice some lag in messages being received after being sent.
- I also found it hard to go back to a community group meet up for updates. You had to manually go back through all the other groups to find the one I signed up for. I would see updates come through, but couldn't access them directly.
Return on Investment
- I was very impressed with how I was able to note my interactions with attendees and used the bookmarked feature to connect with 21 close colleagues. This was my first conference as a representative of my city, and I was a bit worried about meeting people. With the support of this app, I was able to increase my opportunities to network by over 20 people whom I plan to reach out to moving forward.
- I even made some amazing connections with about a third of them with a community meet up group for LGBTQ+ attendees and allies. Changed the whole conference for me and made it an amazing experience.
