I wish more conference and events in general would use Whova to help participants get more out it……how incredibly useful I found Whova to be at the recent SEJ annual conference. It’s safe to say that the conference was 10x more valuable to me than if Whova had not been available. Testimonial By Mark Trexler

We had to shift our conference virtually with only 5 days to go before the conference. Luckily, we were able to do so seamlessly and used pre-recorded videos (via Whova) instead of in-person lectures. In addition, we are using the Whova app to continue to create communities and foster ideas. As we ...are in the field of healthcare, continuing conversations is important to us at this crucial time.
