Will I be able to connect with other attendees one-on-one?
Yes! Whova is an amazing tool that will allow you to connect with other attendees through direct messaging, networking Zoom meetings and Google Hangouts (join an existing one or set up your own!) and Community Board discussions. Spend some time in the app...you will find so much more than you expect!
** Make sure to update your profile in the Attendees tab so people can get to know you and your interests.
What is Whova?
Whova is our official event app. Soon after you register, you will receive an email invitation to download Whova onto your computer or handheld device (or both!).

Be familiar with the Agenda tab at the bottom of the Whova app. It will show you what is happening and when.
I am a VIP, do I have to access two Whova events?
Yes. As a VIP, you should be able to access both events:
