This session blends education, networking, and hands-on fun into one high-energy experience designed specifically for event professionals — with a Yacht Party twist. We’re leaning fully into the theme as a live demonstration of how a cohesive concept can be layered across multiple photo and video activations. Come to learn, come to connect — and come aboard to play.Attendees will have the opportunity to experience and try the latest photo and video activation tools firsthand, including the exciting new Glambot™, the cinematic slow-motion experience made famous on the red carpet. This is not a sit-and-listen session — it’s an interactive, immersive look at what’s next in experiential events, all styled through a single, fully realized theme.

Photo and video activations have officially outgrown the “nice-to-have” category. For today’s event professionals, they’re becoming one of the most powerful tools to elevate guest experience, extend event life online, and deliver tangible value to clients and sponsors.

• How to transform a photo booth into a true brand engine
