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.

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

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