Winner: Best Use of AI
WYSE Travel Confederation awarded Hanover CRM Best Use of AI at WYSTC 2026, Bilbao, for making exchange programs citable by AI assistants and turning that interest into applications.
The offer
Same plan. Same price. $350/month of software added.
We've renamed Essentials to Agent and bundled Hanover Discovery in for free — a $350/month product at no extra charge. Same price, same five admin users, same everything you already had, plus the product that gets your programs cited in AI search. It applies to new signups and existing customers alike, for as long as you stay on the Agent plan.
Now
Agent
- Everything Essentials had, unchanged
- Hanover Discovery included free
- Same price, same 5 admin users
- Applies to existing customers too
- Locked in for as long as you stay on Agent
Nothing to sign, nothing to activate. If you're an Essentials customer today, you're an Agent customer now.
What you're getting free
Hanover Discovery
Students increasingly search for programs by asking an AI assistant rather than typing into Google. If your programs aren't structured for that, you're invisible before a student ever reaches your website. Discovery closes that gap.
- Get cited in AI search
- AEO-native program catalogues that ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini can read, understand and cite when a student asks about programs like yours.
- Apply in a conversation
- Candidates register in about 30 seconds through a short conversational flow instead of abandoning a long static application form.
- Leads land in your CRM
- Captured enquiries route straight into your Hanover pipeline with the context attached, ready for your team to work the same day.
- No extra subscription
- Normally $350/month standalone. On the Agent plan there is no separate line item, no add-on to negotiate and no renewal to track.

WYSTC & the Agent plan, answered
Where can I find Hanover at WYSTC 2026?
Stand A1 at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre, from 14 to 17 September 2026. Bastian and Rob will both be there across all four days. You can book a slot in advance or just drop by.
What happened to the Essentials plan?
Essentials is now called Agent. The name is the only change on your side: the price, your five included admin users, and every feature you already had stay exactly the same. Existing Essentials customers move across automatically and pick up Hanover Discovery free as part of the change.
Is Hanover Discovery really included at no extra cost?
Yes. Every Agent plan customer — new or existing — gets Hanover Discovery bundled in at no additional charge, for as long as you stay on the Agent plan. Discovery normally costs $350/month as a standalone subscription. There is nothing extra to set up or activate.
Do I have to be at WYSTC to get the offer?
No. The Agent plan includes Hanover Discovery for every customer on the plan, whether or not we meet in Bilbao. WYSTC is just the easiest place to see it working in person.
What is Hanover Discovery?
Hanover Discovery makes your programs discoverable in AI search — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini — through AEO-native program catalogues, and captures applications through a short conversational flow instead of a long form. Captured leads route automatically into Hanover CRM.
See you in Bilbao.
