What Kind of Photo Booth Activation Will Work for a Hybrid or Virtual Event?

In a post-2020 world, event strategies have changed  but the need to engage people (and generate shareable content) hasn’t. Whether you're managing a virtual conference, hybrid product launch, or multi-city brand event, you're probably asking:

"What kind of photo booth experience actually works in a hybrid or virtual format?"

Here’s what works now  and how MDRN Activations builds experiences that engage both in-person and remote audiences.

Best Photo Booth Activation for Hybrid or Virtual Events: Mosaic Wall

MDRN’s Mosaic Wall is our most versatile and engagement-friendly activation for hybrid and virtual formats.

It allows guests  no matter where they are  to submit photos remotely or in-person, contributing to a live, branded mosaic that updates in real time as well a digital interactive mosaic.

Here’s how it works:

  • Guests (on-site or remote) submit a photo through a branded link or at an MDRN booth.

  • Each photo becomes a “tile” in a custom mosaic image  often a product logo, campaign image, or creative key art.

  • The image builds live on a large board at the venue  and can be live streamed or shared as a link for remote audiences and even cast on live screens.

Post-event, you’ll receive a hyperlapse video of the mosaic build  perfect for social sharing or follow-up campaigns.

Why It Works for Hybrid + Virtual Events

  1. Inclusive Participation
    Whether guests are across the country or in the event space, they can all contribute to the same branded moment.

  2. Visual Storytelling with a Purpose
    It creates a collective piece of art  your audience becomes the experience.

  3. High Engagement, Low Friction
    No app downloads. No complicated setup. Just a URL, a selfie, and a memory.

Ideal for Internal and External Audiences
Perfect for company summits, employee engagement, brand awareness campaigns, and customer-facing activations.

MDRN’s Twist: We Make It Interactive, Not Just Visual

A lot of mosaic activations are passive  guests take a photo, and that's it. With MDRN, we take it a step further:

  • Our onsite team guides guests through themed prompts, helping them contribute content that aligns with your campaign (and feels personal).

  • We integrate branded overlays, call-to-action touchpoints, and even data capture for follow-up.

  • Gamification can help increase interactions and brand recognition. Making the experience even more captivating and fun. Everyone loves to win stuff.

This isn’t just a visual,  it’s an activation strategy.
