Networking giant and tech was there to assist!

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Whova from other similar products?

An interface that allows for multiple streaming capabilities, bringing many people together in an orderly fashion.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The networking began even before our event started. As people signed up they were networking before live sessions. We utilized the networking features to bring people around the country together during a pandemic when people felt very alone and isolated.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I created a home page that was appealing, The homepage was not designed adaptable, I wished there were more features for design. Also, the social cards were difficult to manage, and wished they were more user-friendly for owners and presenters. My presenters were not clear on how to share their profiles. If the icons were right there on their profile, I know they would have shared their presentation on all platforms.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

There are many features to learn, all worth your time. Be patient understanding the program. You have to play with it to use it properly. Do not be afraid to ask the tech team for support. They are available every day in the chat feature. Utilize the networking feature by creating community boards, topics and creating meet-ups. Hire a tech person to run your Zoom meetings so all goes smoothly. Run solid tech rehearsals so all sessions run smoothly on the day of your event!
