Case Study: Cornell University’s ComSciCon-NY boosts virtual conference engagement with Whova

Cornell University drives 500+ session views with Whova

The New York chapter of ComSciCon, based at Cornell University, faced challenges in managing their first virtual Science Communications Conference. Their small graduate student team needed an efficient way to handle speaker information, facilitate attendee networking, communicate updates, and track session popularity.

Using Whova's all-in-one event management platform, the organizers empowered speakers to upload their own bios, facilitated networking through the Community Board, and sent updates via announcements and polls. Whova provided automatic tracking of session attendance. The results included over 300 messages sent, 200+ profile views, and 500+ session views, creating a successful virtual hub for attendee connection and streamlined event management.
