WHY THIS BEATS A PHOTO BOOTH
1. Perceived value — a professional portrait attendees would otherwise buy separately
2. Earned media — LinkedIn updates that credit your conference for months
3. Sponsor inventory — a brandable activation you can sell or include in registration
Every attendee is coached, reviews on a tethered screen, and selects before they leave. That is the difference between a novelty print and a headshot people actually use.
WHAT MEETING PLANNERS GET
• Station plan sized to peak hours — not just total headcount
• One to multiple photographer stations for 250–1,000+
• Branded or executive-neutral backdrops
• Tethered capture + live selection
• Same-day branded gallery delivery (text/email)
• Pre-event venue / AV coordination

FAQ
Is a conference headshot booth the same as a photo booth?
No. A photo booth is unsupervised and fixed. Our booth is a professional portrait station with studio lighting, expression coaching, and live review — built for LinkedIn and leadership use.
Can you handle 500+ attendees nationwide?
Yes. We size stations to peak demand. At argenx’s National XFT meeting in Boca Raton (~500-person meeting), we ran 2 booths with about 255–270 scheduled per day before walk-ups. Full planning guide: /how-to-conference-headshots-for-500-plus
Do you travel outside Kansas City?
Yes. The Headshot Studios is headquartered in Kansas City and operates nationwide through a vetted photographer network in major U.S. conference markets.
Can a sponsor brand the booth?
Yes. Backdrop, signage, and gallery delivery can carry conference or sponsor branding.

Custom quote by days, expected volume, station count, branding, and travel. We typically respond within one business day.
Can you bundle full conference photography?
