Trade show photo booth and conference activations
Quick answer
At a trade show the booth that wins gives attendees something they want in exchange for a scan or an email. We run headshot lounges and AI portrait studios that deliver to the attendee's inbox, add a short survey if you want one, and send totals every morning.
Trade shows & conferencesThe brief
What the activation has to fix
Expo floors are loud, aisles are long, and attendees have learned to avoid eye contact with booth staff. A giveaway pen does not change that. A free headshot or a portrait they will post that afternoon does.
We plan load-in around the rules at Michigan venues such as Huntington Place in Detroit, Vibe Credit Union Showplace in Novi, DeVos Place in Grand Rapids and the Lansing Center, including power drops and union labor where the venue requires it.

Questions
Trade shows & conferences
What is the best photo booth for a trade show?
For lead capture, a headshot lounge or an AI portrait studio, because the attendee has to enter an email to receive the result. For pure traffic, a 360 video booth draws the eye from the aisle.
Can you run a booth activation for a multi-day conference?
Yes. We staff each show day or install a self-serve kiosk, and send totals every morning.
