Overall Satisfaction with Whova

I've used it at several different conferences and I get a ton more out of the conference when it is used. For example:
1) Meetups with colleagues and customers
2) Contact information and notes about conversations are easily captured
3) Customers are more apt to stop by booth when they are fulfilling the passport requirements for a free prize.
4) I can start a discussion on a topic to see who in the conference is most interested and target them for in person discussions.
5) Too many to list.....

Pros

  • Leaderboard to drive people to use the tool
  • Lead capturing with notes for each contact you make
  • Foster and encourage meetup oppy's for social interaction beyond just the business of attending the function (i.e. hiking, running, drinking, eating, ...etc)

Cons

  • Let there be some kind of export function of the lead capture. I have the contacts that I've 'Liked" and are easily accessed. I have the notes in each one of the contacts for what i need to do to follow up. But I'd like to export that to an Excel file so i have all contacts and action items in one spreadsheet.
  • Advertise the Passport function better. Not many people are aware of it and it was used in 3 of the last 4 conferences I've been at.
  • Whova is the best app i've used at conferences but please concentrate on #1 above to really get the support of all the exhibitors.

Do you think Whova delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Whova's feature set?

Yes

Did Whova live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Whova go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Whova again?

I've already expanded on that in the previous questions. If you want to go from a 9 to a 10, add the export function for lead capturing.
