The room assignments for meetings, and the site map were very helpful for a fast paced conference in a large confusing hotel convention setting, where it would have been very difficult to find meeting rooms on various floors. I also really liked that my sessions automatically populated into the app for me, so I did not have to search ALL the classes. #### Cons It was initially hard to find things within the app. After I became accustomed to it, I was able to search for things that I needed to find, firmly easily. --- ### Whova-wow! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Stephanie W. - Industry: Insurance - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: September 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered I'd say it was pretty good. You'd be well served by making the messaging better known... ADD phone notifications! I kept asking people at the conference if they had gotten my message and they had not because they didn't open the app and see it. I'd like it to pop-up as a phone notification. What good is a message sent that isn't seen until way after it's relevant? #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like seeing the Event Schedule, picking my events, getting session alerts, seeing the floor plan(map), AND best of all the instant messaging conference and session attendees. #### Cons Navigation within the phone Graphical User Interface. I felt like I had to look around to find things like the floor layout a lot. What I don't like is this response interface I'm typing into right now. It has, for each box, a minimum number of characters it allows and it shows in in the form of a fraction. I was confused and shortened each of my messages to fall below 100 characters only to come back and have to add back in to make this review process work. Below each box it should state 100 Characters Minimum: (#CharCount). That makes it way easier to understand(intuative). It only explains it after you try to submit... (Minimum of 100 characters not met). Here's my experience. I saw the fraction and I didn't even proceed to read "min." I'm just used to having to fix a response to fit into a limited context, I went into auto-pilot when filling this in. --- ### Essential for Networking and Connections at Elevate Miami - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lisbeth P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: October 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My overall experience with Whova for the Elevate Conference in Miami was excellent; the app was the digital backbone for the entire event and was essential for both organization and networking. The key benefit was the Brilliant Networking capability. The attendee list and direct messaging feature made it incredibly easy to connect with valuable contacts and schedule meetings, which significantly enhanced the professional value of the conference. Additionally, the Organized Agenda and personalized reminders ensured I never missed a session at the Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus. The simple Accessible Content feature was also a huge plus.

The session management tools were especially effective, allowing me to organize my schedule, access session details, and receive timely updates. #### Cons What I liked least about the Whova app was that certain features could feel slightly overwhelming or cluttered, especially for first-time users.

No incentive was offered As a new user navigating Whova without an orientation, I initially found the feature-dense interface and high notification volume overwhelming.

I've been to a lot of trade shows and conferences and the most important part is the Agenda and being able prior to the event choose your own adventure based on the sessions. The gamification for our internal team made it fun to engage and "level up" by interacting with other team members, meeting new people, and compete. #### Cons I was a user and I suppose the only thing I didn't like is I looked at "My Agenda" on night vs the entire agenda and missed breakfast because I thought a session started at 9 but it started at 8.
