Whova dramatically transformed my experience at the conference and I will always highly recommend it for anyone who attends a conference. I really appreciate that I did not have a giant stack of papers or binder to sift through for every speaker. It could also accommodate for a change in speaker li...ne-up (like what happened at our Emerald Conference). It was extremely valuable for networking.
