The problem

Most event activations don't earn their budget.

Booth traffic, brand impact, and engagement that outlasts the event are hard to manufacture — and most activations come up short.

01

Swag gets tossed

Pens and tote bags don't drive booth traffic, and most end up in the bin before the flight home. A professional headshot is something attendees actually keep and use.

02

Photographers don't scale

A hired photographer creates lines, bottlenecks, and a big invoice — and still can't keep up at peak. Self-serve never stops for a break.

03

The impact fades when the event ends

Most activations create a moment on the floor but nothing that carries past it — no easy way to keep engaging attendees and, where it fits, no captured leads to act on.

The solution

Everything a great activation needs.

A branded, self-serve headshot booth that draws a crowd, delivers studio-quality portraits on the spot, and keeps working for you after the event.

How it works

Walk up. Three minutes. Professional headshot delivered.

01 — WALK UP

Plug and play

The booth ships anywhere and sets up easily — no photographer, no rigging. Attendees walk up and start whenever the doors open.

02 — CAPTURE

Guided experience

Studio-grade equipment and on-screen prompts. Attendees take several photos and pick their favourite on the spot, with retakes until they love it.

03 — EDIT

Professional editing applied

Automated retouching handles lighting correction, background standardization, and minor adjustments instantly — polished results, no post-production.

04 — DELIVER

Instant + branded

Your sponsor branding carries across every touchpoint — the booth exterior, the on-screen experience, and the call-to-action in each delivery email. Headshots reach attendees in seconds, with every session and lead logged to your dashboard.
