How an AI Photo Booth Transformed R2 Unified Technologies' Speakeasy Conference at JW Turnberry

AI Photo Booth Brings the Roaring 20s to Life at a Corporate Conference

When it comes to corporate conferences, creating an experience guests remember long after the event ends is becoming just as important as the presentations themselves. Interactive experiences encourage networking, increase participation, and give attendees something worth sharing.

For its Speakeasy themed corporate conference at JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa in Aventura, R2 Unified Technologies wanted an experience that fit the atmosphere while giving every guest a personalized keepsake. Rather than relying on traditional props or costumes, they partnered with Esteem 360 Studios to create a fully customized AI Photo Booth experience that transported guests back to the Roaring 20s.

Using our AI Photo Booth, guests were transformed into stylish characters inspired by the 1920s, complete with vintage attire, while receiving a branded 4x6 print and instant digital copy to take home.

If you're planning a conference, company celebration, or themed corporate event, this activation shows how AI photo booths create memorable experiences that extend well beyond the event itself.

R2 Unified Technologies wanted more than entertainment.

The goal was to create an experience that blended naturally into the event theme while encouraging attendees to interact, network, and leave with a personalized keepsake.

The experience needed to:

• Match the Speakeasy theme. • Reflect the company's branding. • Keep guests moving through the experience quickly. • Deliver both printed and digital photos. • Create something attendees would want to share.

Building a Roaring 20s AI Experience

Our team designed a completely custom AI workflow around the event theme.

Guests stepped in front of a professionally lit green drape backdrop where their portrait was captured. Instead of placing guests in a generic AI scene, our software transformed each attendee into a character inspired by the Roaring 20s, complete with period clothing and styling that matched the Speakeasy atmosphere.

Every generated portrait was incorporated into a custom branded photo template designed specifically for R2 Unified Technologies.

Each guest received:

• A branded 4x6 print. • A digital version delivered instantly. • A professionally generated AI portrait. • Event specific branding.

Because the transformation happened automatically, attendees enjoyed the themed experience without needing to change clothes or wear costumes.

The AI Pickup Station Became an Attraction of Its Own

One of the highlights of the activation was the dedicated AI pickup station.

As portraits finished processing, they appeared on a large live display where guests watched new images appear throughout the evening before collecting their printed photo.

The live gallery quickly became a gathering point.

Guests laughed together as coworkers appeared in their Roaring 20s portraits, compared images, and waited to see who would appear next. This simple addition extended engagement well beyond the initial photo.

Instead of taking a picture and walking away, attendees remained part of the experience.

Why AI Photo Booths Work So Well at Corporate Conferences

Corporate conferences have changed.

Today's attendees expect interactive experiences that complement the event rather than interrupt it. An AI Photo Booth gives organizers a way to combine entertainment, branding, and guest engagement into one activation.

Benefits include:

• Personalized experiences for every attendee. • Branded printed keepsakes. • Instant digital sharing. • Increased guest participation. • Higher social media engagement. • Custom themes that match the event. • Opportunities for sponsor branding. • Optional lead capture for exhibitors and sponsors. Unlike traditional photo booths, every guest receives a completely customized image that feels unique to them.

Why Corporate Event Planners Are Choosing AI Photo Booths

AI photo booths have become one of the fastest growing experiences for conferences, sales meetings, award ceremonies, holiday parties, and company celebrations.

Unlike novelty attractions that guests experience once and forget, AI photo booths create personalized content attendees keep long after the event ends.

For organizations, that means:

• Stronger attendee engagement. • Better event recall. • More branded content. • Increased social sharing. • Higher perceived event value.

Because every experience is custom designed around the event theme, no two activations are the same.

Planning an AI Photo Booth for Your Next Event

If you're considering an AI Photo Booth for your next conference or corporate event, here are a few recommendations.

Choose a theme that supports your event instead of competing with it.

• Invest in custom branded print templates instead of generic overlays.
  

• Offer both printed and digital copies so guests have multiple ways to enjoy their portraits.
  

• Position the booth in a visible location with enough room for guests to gather.
  

• Include a live display or pickup station to encourage additional interaction.
  

• Work with an experienced provider who creates custom AI prompts tailored to your event instead of using one-size-fits-all templates.
