What is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)

Stova is an event management platform that combines event registration, attendee engagement, and event operations for in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. It is used by event teams running conferences, trade shows, corporate events, and association meetings that require configurable registration flows, mobile apps, and exhibitor/sponsor tools. The product portfolio reflects the consolidation of MeetingPlay and Aventri capabilities, including mobile event apps, virtual/hybrid experiences, and lead capture workflows.

pros

Broad end-to-end event suite

Stova covers core workflows across registration, agenda and speaker management, attendee communications, mobile event apps, and virtual/hybrid delivery. This reduces the need to stitch together multiple point solutions for common event programs. It also supports exhibitor and sponsor experiences, which is important for conference and trade show formats.

Strong registration configuration

The platform supports complex registration scenarios such as multiple ticket types, discounts, add-ons, approvals, and custom data capture. This fits organizations that need branded, rules-driven registration rather than basic ticketing. It is typically better suited to managed events and multi-stakeholder approval processes than lightweight self-serve ticketing.

Engagement and lead capture tools

Stova includes attendee engagement features such as session interaction and networking-oriented experiences, plus lead retrieval for exhibitors and sponsors. These capabilities support revenue-focused events where sponsor ROI and sales follow-up matter. The combination of engagement and lead capture can reduce reliance on separate scanning apps and manual reconciliation.

cons

Complexity for small events

Because Stova targets full-scale event programs, setup and administration can be heavier than simpler registration or ticketing tools. Teams running small, infrequent events may find the feature set more than they need. Implementation and ongoing configuration often require dedicated event operations resources.

Portfolio consolidation considerations

As a product formed from multiple legacy platforms (MeetingPlay and Aventri), customers may encounter differences in workflows, UI patterns, or feature maturity across modules. Some capabilities may depend on which package is purchased and how it is provisioned. Organizations should validate which components are native versus integrated and how reporting spans modules.

Integration and reporting effort

Connecting event data to CRM/marketing automation and aligning reporting across registration, engagement, and lead capture can require planning and technical work. Data models for attendees, sessions, and leads may need mapping to internal systems for consistent attribution. Buyers should confirm available connectors, API coverage, and any limits on data export or real-time sync.
