Introducing Whova
We are excited to incorporate Whova, an event management system, into the 2024 Symposium. Later this Spring, we will send an email to registered attendees sharing how to download and use both leading up to and during the Symposium. Whova allows you to view the agenda and plan sessions, network with other attendees and speakers, and engage with others on the community discussion boards.
This all-in-one app will help Symposium easily navigate the Symposium by keeping all the needed information readily available at your fingertips. In using the app, you will be able to see who else will be attending, exchange instant messages, schedule a meeting, start a group chat, and receive announcements from the Alliance for Water Efficiency instantly.
