5. Create Your Space
With a virtual event, your space is everything. Be sure to set up in a quiet and comfortable spot, where you can feel your most creative and most productive. We recommend a comfortable chair, good lighting, your computer, your phone, a notebook, pen, water and some snacks! You can access Whova on both desktop and mobile. It’s good to use Whova on both, and to flick between the two to decide what you prefer watching and engaging on.
