Whova

Whova sells an integrated event operations platform to organisations that plan and run events. The company creates value by consolidating registration, marketing pages, attendee engagement, sponsor fulfilment, lead retrieval, and hybrid event delivery into one system, reducing manual work and tool fragmentation for organisers. Revenue is generated through organiser-paid software access, event-based pricing, feature/module upsells, and ticketing-related fees tied to registrations processed on the platform.

Whova is a private US-based software company that provides cloud event management software for organisers running in-person, hybrid, and virtual events. Its platform covers registration, ticketing, event websites, attendee networking, sponsor and exhibitor management, onsite check-in, badge generation, speaker and abstract workflows, and post-event analytics. The attendee-facing app is part of the product experience, but the paying customer is primarily the event organiser.

Whova makes money through a B2B SaaS model in which organisers pay based on event size, selected modules, and deployment scope. It also earns transaction-linked revenue from registration and ticketing fees, while enabling organisers to monetise sponsors and exhibitors through in-app placements and lead capture tools. Its customers include conference planners, associations, trade show teams, and corporate event departments seeking a single system rather than multiple point tools.
