This year’s Photobooth Exposition was again held at the delightful South Point Hotel Casino & Spa, February 16th-19th in Las Vegas. Lots of fresh stuff to see as we move into 2026 events seasons. Thought I’d share a few take-aways from walking the show.
AI (artificial intelligence) and mobile apps were everywhere. Draw Me Bot, by FOTOMASTER,© demonstrated personalized portraits making. Guest’s images are captured digitally and Draw Me Bot sketches guests’ likenesses using some AI fun and flair.
Snappic© offers photo roaming and instant gallery sharing services creating lots of opportunity to capture and share digital photos from throughout an event. Use of DSLR camera with mobile phone dongle creates the ability to “roam” throughout and capture digital photos to share. There were several companies offer similar guest-focused photo applications for email or text distribution.
Walking the 2026 Photo Booth Expo several times, my general sense is that software applications (AI) and mobile phone technology are finding new, clever ways to capture more of an event moment through greater personalization. Creative methods for capturing, sharing an engaging guests visually. Enjoy Spring!
