Yes, we will use the Whova app for networking again this year. The Conference sessions will not be streamed to the platform as the event will only be in-person. There will also be no virtual exhibition booths. You can download it here: https://whova.com/download/

10th August.

Whova allows access 90 days before the commencement of the Conference. Access will be available to all registered delegates from 10th August. Please note when registering you must tick "yes" if you want to be included on Whova (which is the delegate list). Only delegates who have paid in full will appear on the Whova app.

Whova is the live delegate list and we will provide a downloadable delegate list within the Whova app.

To enable networking among delegates at the Conference, we will share delegate names, job title, company name, and country or city with other delegates, exhibitors, and sponsors via our secure networking service - the official IFEAT Conference mobile application Whova.

If a delegate chooses to message another delegate, the message will be sent from the delegate’s profile on Whova. If a delegate chooses to reply, further communication will continue through the delegates’ chat or video calling function.

Please note that due to UK GDPR restrictions delegates’ email address and telephone numbers will not be shared through the delegate listing or otherwise.

Access to Whova will be available from 10th August.

If you wish to upgrade from an Accompanying Ticket to a full Delegate Ticket, please contact [email protected], quoting your order number.

Printed tickets are not issued.  It is a good idea to have a copy of your final invoice receipt with you when you arrive at the Conference.
