Wave Connect vs. Whova

Wave Connect is an event lead capture and AI badge scanning platform, and the digital business card used by 200,000+ professionals across 50+ industries. At trade shows and conferences, Wave Connect turns any smartphone into an AI badge scanner and lead retrieval app. Exhibitors scan any event badge, batch-scan stacks of paper business cards, and qualify leads right on the booth floor. Every scan becomes an enriched, CRM-ready lead synced to HubSpot, Salesforce, and other CRMs in real time, so follow-up starts before the booth comes down.

Whova is an all-in-one event management platform that promotes success throughout the event life cycle. Whova helps you manage pre-event tasks like registration, event webpage and event marketing, and call for speakers/abstracts all in one place. During the event, you can rely on our award-winning event app, which includes engaging networking features, name badge and check-in, exhibitor lead retrieval, and more event management tools for a smooth event experience.
