Whova Reviews & Product Details

It covers all conference activities. Whatever the host organization wants to include from seminars, key notes, food, after conference activities and being able to set my own schedule and see my schedule out of all the available sessions available make knowing where I want to go much simpler. It also offers a place for photos and has a leader board to help get people to use the app, but that also helps promote the event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really dislike anything, but I'm able to see conferences or events that I'm not a part of. That hasn't been an issue but could maybe make it harder to find the conference that I'm with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a professional speaker and frequent conference attendee, I’ve used many event apps over the years, and Whova is easily the best conference platform I’ve experienced.

What stood out most to me is how intentionally the app creates opportunities for genuine connection. Attendees can participate in polls and surveys, start conversations and social groups, create or join meetups, ask questions about sessions, message other participants, and connect with people who share similar professional interests. Whova also incorporates gamification through leaderboards and engagement-based contests, which adds a fun, competitive element while encouraging people to get more involved in the overall conference experience.

I attend a significant number of conferences each year, both as a speaker and as an attendee, and I can confidently say I met more new people and had more meaningful interactions at this conference than I typically do at any single event. I credit a great deal of that to Whova. Instead of networking being limited to whoever happens to sit next to you or who you run into during a reception, the app makes it easy to identify the right people, start conversations, organize meetups, and keep building relationships throughout the conference. Whova’s attendee profiles, matchmaking, messaging, and meeting-scheduling tools really reinforce that experience.

From a speaker’s perspective, I also value the professional visibility the platform creates. Having a robust profile within the conference environment gives attendees a chance to learn more about you—your background and areas of expertise—beyond the few minutes you may have together during a session. That continued visibility and connectivity can lead to future conversations and future events.

For me, the greatest compliment I can give Whova is that it didn’t simply help me navigate a conference; it helped me experience the conference differently. It encouraged conversation, participation, discovery, and relationship-building in a way I haven’t experienced with any other conference app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would have liked there to have been more opportunities to gain points on the leaderboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how well it integrates with the conference activities. It makes it easy to view the schedule, stay updated, and keep track of the sessions and events I want to attend. Everything is organized and accessible in one place, which makes the overall conference experience smoother and more enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have anything significant that I dislike about Whova. That said, the number of notifications can sometimes feel overwhelming. It would be helpful to have simpler, more streamlined notification settings so users can more easily choose which updates they want to receive and which ones they’d prefer to skip.

My obtaining and retaining rank on the leaderboard garners me a lot of attention- people will seek me out at the event to congratulate me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some artificial points are obtainable- e.g. posting articles, no matter the content. Feels like point limits are arbitrary. Clearning notifications can also be challenging, there is no distinction between a new comment or a like on a post that you then have to seek out to clear the notification.

I like that you can add all the sessions and workshops you want to attend and find them easily. I also like the community section and I posted a topic about Celiac and or gluten free places to eat in Spokane for our conference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have anything to dislike at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use - it is super clear what to do and where to find the information you need. I was a speaker at a recent event and when logging in it opened right to the Speaker Hub which had my session front and center and I could see how many people registered for the session, and click through to see who they were.

It housed all the pertinent event information clearly.

It had the options I wanted as well - to look at questions from the audience, to easily promote my session, to poll the audience, and message other speakers at the event. All in one screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the Attendees section, the alpha sort menu is right up against the far right side of the screen and it is really hard to choose a letter. That's it! Everything else is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I loved having the agenda at my finger tips and able to network with other attendees right from the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing was when I first downloaded the app, I wasn't instructed to learn about it. I wasn't sure how to interact with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to create my own agenda; the ability to scan attendees' QR code to collect contact details, section for note taking, detailed agenda with topic overview, room info that links to a map. Also the community meet up to share opportunities to connect. I like that the info is availbe in the app even after the event is over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I disliked that whenever I went into specific about an agenda item, it would take me back to the full agena instead of my agenda (if I have that right). I really wish there was a way to bookmark meet ups instead of just adding them to my agenda to track/RSVP and really wish there was a searchabale way to find meet up I saw previously. I spent a lot of time scrolling to find meet ups I remembered I was interested in. Also, would like a way to disable notifications for select meet ups. If I made one comment, I kept getting notifications on meet ups I simply said hi in versus those I really wanted to track. It became overwhelming at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it's extremely organized. I like the organized meetings within the app and communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the meeting Cap to attend isn't very big. It would be nice if it was larger or the Whova app recommend making the meeting larger if they wish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Notifications on sessions and breaks. Knowing what people are in attendance (as a vendor looking for customers & partners). Chats Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) the passport fun challenge was slow to update. i had to scan multiple people at each booth and it still would populate as complete.

2) Id like to know more about exporting lists of the people attending. this way i can follow up on people i didnt get to meet that i wanted to meet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
