Photo sharing for conferences, team buildings and company events
Company events produce plenty of phone photos that never reach the organisers. Corporate event photo sharing with a QR code collects them in one branded album, gives you material for the recap and lets attendees relive the day.
Fantastic workshop! Inspiring, informative, and full of great ideas!

This guide covers the most common formats for company events and the settings that matter most for each one.
Plan it before the event
Decide who owns the album, which privacy mode fits and whether uploads need approval. Style the album with your event colours and fonts so attendees recognise it when it opens, and check your storage: conferences with lots of video fill albums quickly.
- Owner and backup moderator agreed
- Privacy mode, password and approval chosen
- Storage sized for the number of attendees and the amount of video
- QR code added to badges, slides, signage and the event app or email
- Internal agreement on how event photos may be used afterwards
Conferences and product launches
Put the QR code on badges and on the opening slide, and show the live photo wall in the lobby between sessions. Speakers, stands and hallway moments all land in one album you can download for the recap.
Ask the host to mention the album in the opening remarks and add the code to the last slide of each session. Attendees who spot their own photo on the lobby screen during a coffee break are the best advertisement for sharing more.
Brand the photo wall
Add your logo to the live photo wall and show the QR code on screen, so the wall doubles as signage. Captions and the top-contributor podium can each be switched on or off to suit the tone of the event.
Team buildings and offsites
Offsites are about the team, not the venue. Share the album link in the team chat before you leave, let everyone add photos from the activities, and play the slideshow at the closing dinner.
Keep the album open for a week after the offsite so colleagues can add photos from the journey home, and send the link again in your follow-up email.
Holiday parties and celebrations
For the end-of-year party, run the photo wall on a big screen and switch on approval so only reviewed photos appear. Share the album link afterwards so colleagues who couldn’t attend can browse it too.
The contributor podium adds some friendly competition between departments; switch it off in the photo wall settings if you prefer a calmer screen.
If the party runs at several offices at once, one album with one QR code lets every location add photos, and you can open the photo wall on a screen at each location.
Privacy, moderation and the DPA
Choose who can see what: view and upload, view only or upload only, plus an optional password. Approval keeps screens and albums clean, and you can delete any upload that shouldn’t be there. Owners can also hide guest download actions.
A data processing agreement is available for business customers. Agree internally how event photos may be used, for example in social posts or recruiting material, before you share them publicly, and tell attendees that a photo wall is running.
Wording and mistakes to avoid
Corporate audiences respond to clear, professional prompts. A few examples you can adapt:
- Badge or lanyard: “Share your photos from today. Scan, no app needed.”
- Opening slide: “Your photos appear on the lobby screen. Scan the code to add yours.”
- Follow-up email: “Thank you for joining us. Browse the event album and add any photos we missed.”
Common mistakes
The most common mistakes at company events are hiding the code on a single sign, forgetting to name a moderator when approval is on, and not agreeing on photo use before sharing publicly. A short checklist sent to the event team a week before avoids all three.
Several events a year
Teams that run several events a year keep each one in its own album, so attendees of one event don’t see another event’s photos, and each album can end when that event’s recap is done.
Choosing the right plan for company events
Try a free album (5 days, 0.1 GB) with your event team first. For the event itself, pay once for 6 months or choose a yearly album for 12 months, with 10, 30 or 50 GB.
For a one-off conference or party, a pay-once album is usually enough. For an internal community or a year-long programme, a yearly album keeps one place for photos across the whole year. Test a free album with your event team first to check the flow and the photo wall on your own screens.
After the event: the recap
Download the album as a ZIP once uploads slow down and pick the best shots for your recap post, newsletter or internal channel. Send attendees the link with a thank-you so they can add anything they missed.
If you run events regularly, create a separate album for each one, so access settings, moderation and the album’s lifetime stay independent.
Share a short selection internally within a few days, while people still remember the event; the recap is often what gets attendees excited for the next one.
