What made us choose Convene was the unparalleled meeting experience that it offers. We wanted a seamless board meeting experience and we got that from Convene. Another aspect we found very useful as an organization is how easy it is to upload documents during board meetings. It was able to fulfill our organization requirements and board members are very pleased with their experience with Convene.
