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.

Whova is SOC2 Type II and PCI compliant. These security and privacy certificates recognize Whova’s practice of reliable, safe, secure, and trustworthy management of user data protection and privacy.

Forces you to use the app rather than a computer with a big screen and decent keyboard. Hard to navigate, hard to read, hard to use. I found it impossible to work out what sessions were running *right now*. Weird home screen. Hard to add people to your contacts. A mess. Not task oriented. Needs a usability overhaul.

Hi Steven, We do offer a computer version app so you don't have to download the mobile app. Please contact your organizer to get the link. It works on any browser. Feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you need any other help. Best, Whova Team

Slick app with insufferable push notifications. They dont use android notification catergoeries, everything is just "General." So, you go into the app, and change notification settings there... but it doesnt respect it. The only thing I want is important announcements from the organizers but I think I'll just have to mute the whole app in android.

Dear Jaye, We're glad you find the app slick! Thanks for your feedback on the notifications. If the community board in your event is very active, you can disable the notification setting on the right top corner of the Community page. For further questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Best, The Whova Team

A+ My experience with the Whova app was through a conference I attended. Everything was organized and outlined very well. All questions were answered. It was user-friendly and simple. I was pleased with every aspect and referred to it many times during the conference. I am still using after the conference as all the information is still there.
