"I bought relief from Whova's headaches and nightmares… I bought myself peace of mind. Whova had a lot of limitations that made even basic things, like navigation, harder than they needed to be."

Kate BrennerSIL International

"We were using Whova and our attendees were used to it… but it just became where you had to keep paying every time you wanted to do something different. I'm confident it will give us the same user experience that Whova did, without all the nickel-and-diming."

Christina CorcoranEnergy Marketing Conferences

"Every time we wanted to do something, there was potentially a new fee involved. Guidebook was one price for everything… that wasn't the case with Whova."
