Case Study: United Nations unites in-person and virtual attendees for World Data Forum with Whova

United Nations engages 18,000+ messages of hybrid attendees with Whova

The United Nations needed a platform to manage and engage a large international hybrid audience for their World Data Forum 2021. Challenges included registering thousands of in-person and remote attendees, organizing a complex multi-session agenda, and fostering networking and active participation across both groups.

Whova provided its event management platform, using its registration system to create separate ticket types and its agenda tools to clearly organize the schedule. The solution leveraged Whova's attendee profiles, Community Board, and Session Q&A Manager to drive connection and moderation. Results included over 5,000 app downloads, 18,000+ messages sent, and high engagement through hundreds of community posts and personalized agendas, successfully uniting the global hybrid audience.
