Case Study: California Entrepreneurship Educators Conference achieves record-setting virtual engagement with Whova

California Entrepreneurship Educators Conference reaches 77 countries with Whova

The California Entrepreneurship Educators Conference (CEEC) faced the challenge of quickly transitioning its annual in-person event to a virtual format due to the pandemic, with only five days to finalize plans. The organizers needed to secure speakers, attract a global audience, and foster engagement for a collaboration-focused conference in an unfamiliar online environment. They turned to the vendor Whova and its event platform to address these hurdles.

Using Whova's platform, the conference efficiently set up 27 online sessions and leveraged tools for global speaker recruitment and attendee marketing. The solution facilitated high virtual engagement through features like meet-ups and discussion boards. The results were record-setting: the event successfully attracted attendees from 77 different countries, achieving unprecedented global reach and participation for the organizers.
