One of the fun interactive experiences from the End of Summer Schmooze was the AI Photo Booth from the Professional Photobooths / 360 Video Booth team, giving attendees a chance to step in front of the camera and see themselves transformed into one-of-a-kind AI creations.

Thank you to Langis Event Media for adding such a fun, interactive element to the Schmooze, and to everyone who stepped up and gave it a try!
