Case Study: Universiti Teknologi Malaysia boosts virtual conference engagement and peer review with Whova

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia drives 4,300 session views with Whova

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia needed a virtual platform to host the Regional Conference in Civil Engineering & Sustainable Development Goals in Higher Education Institutions. Their challenges included distributing continuing professional development credits efficiently, managing paper submissions and peer reviews, encouraging global networking among attendees, and seamlessly sharing event information online. They turned to Whova's all-in-one event management platform for a solution.

Whova's solutions included using its attendance gamification to automatically award CPD credits, the Artifact Center for paper submissions and a peer-review competition, and customizable web pages to display agenda information. The app's Community Board and leaderboard contests motivated networking. The results were significant, with over 4,300 session views, 1,900 messages exchanged, and 180 photos shared. Whova enabled the conference to reach a global audience, reduce its carbon footprint, and was so well-regarded that the university chose it for two consecutive years.
