Whova Polling and Q+A

The Whova app is your best tool for accessing Circularity program details and venue information. Build your agenda, connect with sponsors, plan informal meetups, facilitate polling and Q+A, and network.

The app will be available approximately one month prior to the event. Instructions on how to facilitate live polling and Q+A on Whova are below.

IMPORTANT

📱 Whova Access: No access code is required for your Whova account. Whova syncs with the Circularity registration list, which may take up to 24 hours to update after you have registered. To access your account, use the same email address you used for registration. If you still don't have access after 24 hours, please contact support@trellis.net.

🔉Speaker Hub: Only registered speakers have access to the Speaker Hub. The Whova Speaker Hub is a platform that allows speakers to update their profiles, upload presentation materials, and manage session details. It also allows speakers to discover attendee interests by engaging with session Q&A and polls.
