Swag Gets Tossed. A Great Headshot Gets Used.

Most booth giveaways end up in a hotel trash can. A professional headshot ends up on LinkedIn, in email signatures and on company bios for months. A headshot activation gives attendees a reason to stop, gives your team a few minutes of real conversation with every person in line, and gives you contact details to follow up with after the show.

WHAT WE PRODUCE

Everything Included in a Headshot Activation

Attendees check in with their email and details, and we share the list with your team after the event, so every headshot becomes a follow-up opportunity.
