Case Study: South Carolina Music Educators Association streamlines its conference and boosts attendee engagement with Whova

SCMEA streamlines its 2025 conference with Whova and collects over 2,000 passport stamps

The South Carolina Music Educators Association (SCMEA) faced several challenges managing its annual Professional Development Conference, including a clunky event app for attendees, an inefficient registration process, and tedious systems for managing speakers and exhibitors. They partnered with Whova, adopting its all-in-one event management platform and mobile app to streamline operations and improve the attendee experience.

By implementing Whova, SCMEA streamlined registration, used the Speaker Center for easy information collection, and enhanced exhibitor engagement with lead retrieval and passport contests. The solution allowed efficient session tracking for professional development certificates. Results included a positive, intuitive app experience for nearly 2,000 attendees, over 2,000 stamps collected in the exhibitor passport contest, and significant time savings for organizers. Whova enabled SCMEA to successfully run every aspect of the conference under one platform.
