Case Study: Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs achieves secure, engaging virtual conference success with Whova

Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs drives 200,000+ sponsor impressions with Whova

The Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs faced the challenge of hosting a secure and engaging virtual conference for their Oregon Women Veterans Conference. They needed to prevent disruptions like Zoom bombing, effectively communicate with remote attendees, foster networking, and provide strong visibility and return on investment for their exhibitors and sponsors. They partnered with the event management platform Whova to address these goals.

Using Whova's virtual event solutions, ODVA embedded secure Zoom sessions, used in-app announcements and polls for communication, and drove engagement through gamified features like leaderboard and passport contests. The platform also maximized vendor visibility with digital banners and virtual booths. The results included over 3,000 messages exchanged, more than 100 attendee profile matches, approximately 300 exhibitor leads generated, and over 200,000 sponsor impressions, demonstrating a highly successful virtual event powered by Whova.
