What makes Whova special? Whova's technology builds comprehensive profiles of attendees so you can view all attendee profiles before you even arrive at the event or conference. Plan in advance whom to meet at an event, what to talk about with each attendee and reach out to others via in-app messages before, during and after the event. You can also create casual meetups and arrange social activities with other groups of attendees. Whova revolutionizes event networking and significantly improves the ROI of attending events.

You can also use the Whova conference app to digitize and manage business cards you receive at events. Whova exceeds other business card reader apps like CamCard, CardMunch, ScanBizCards or Scannable etc. by automatically building full profiles using Whova's SmartProfile technology. This allows you to gain deep insights into your contacts' professional backgrounds, work experience, passions, and interests. You can also seamlessly connect with contacts online via LinkedIn and other platforms. Whova's business card scanning feature now supports cards in English, Chinese, and Korean.

Ratings and reviews

Love Whova for every conference! Easy to use, make agendas, find and message people, etc.. I wish you could add a feature where people could add a status that certain contacts could see. The conference I attend every year is THE time of year for old classmates and coworkers to reconnect, so it would be nice to have a status message saying things like which sessions you're in or hangout spots, so people can join in on casual plans easier. "Where's Jenny? Oh, the hotel bar, I'll join her."

This app helped me make the most out of a virtual conference! The app is well organized and makes searching and viewing contributions easy. The developers actively worked with the organizers to correct bugs. My only complaint is how the poster menu had all the posters in one giant list and we had to search for a session code to filter it. In the future, the poster menu could expose a list of sessions, which would greatly help the browsing experience.

My first time using the Whova app I found it was intuitive and easy to navigate. It was easy to search for people by different keywords, names, or companies. I used the chat feature to connect with multiple people I wanted to meet. I saw the scheduling option but didn't use it. Not sure how it integrates with Google calendar. If I could make a request it would be for items I selected for my agenda be added to my personal calendar. Also want good LinkedIn integration.

What's new

Introducing Session Tags! Tags give another way of organizing your event's agenda. Attendees can filter by tags as well to help find certain sessions in the agenda.
