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.

Used it 3 years in a row now and it's the best conference app I've used yet. Only gripe is that the vendor scanner notes section (Android) does not use the default keyboard and doesn't do ANY spellchecker, so my notes come out garbage. If fixed then I could look prospects in the eye while I type notes. Fix it and you got 6 stars! Or better yet 10 stars!

Attending a conference and unfortunately the organizers choose this app. I lost count of how many BS emails I got even before downloading the app. Scrolling though sessions, it's hard to see individual papers as many sessions description are poorly formatted and lack any lines breaks. Also does not allow you to select individual papers only sessions

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.
