THE CATEGORY

What Whova is for.

An attendee app focused on engagement: agenda, networking, messaging, polls and community around the sessions.

STRENGTHS

Where Whova is strong.

  • Attendees adopt it — the app gets used, which is not a given.
  • Networking, messaging and community features are its strength.
  • Quick to stand up for association and academic conferences.
  • Agenda, personal schedule and reminders work well for delegates.
SCOPE

Where its scope ends.

Not criticism — scope. These are the things it was not built to do, which matter only if you need them.

  • Nothing behind the curtain: no running order, cues, departments or prompter.
  • The agenda is a published artefact rather than a production structure.
  • Branding is app-first rather than event-first.
EVENTBLOK

What EventBlok does differently.

  • The same programme drives the attendee view and the crew view.
  • Speaker preparation and prompter scripts attach to the sessions themselves.
  • The audience portal runs as part of the event, with production reading the same record.
CHOOSING

Which to choose.

Whova

  • Pick Whova if delegate engagement and networking are the point of your event.

EventBlok

  • Pick EventBlok if the show behind the programme needs running as carefully as the programme is published.
