A caricature booth for trade shows and company events
People take a selfie on their own phone, and the gold-framed display at your booth or party draws them as a caricature while the crowd watches. Everyone leaves with a copy on their phone and a print in their hand.
One booth, one event per date · Proposal within 24 hours · COI on request
Our organization has worked with PicBooth for multiple events using both their photobooths and DrawBot activation. They were professional, punctual and went above and beyond! We had great feedback from guests and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to add something fun, new, engaging and exciting to their events.
Preview of the Caricature Booth setup.
What does it look like at an event?
A display that keeps a small crowd in front of it. People send a selfie, then stay to watch themselves and their colleagues appear.
Clips and samples from real events run on the same caricature system.
How does it work at a trade show or company event?
We set up the display
It stands on an easel beside your booth, the bar or the registration desk, with a sign and a code to scan.
People send a selfie
From their own phone, alone or with the whole team squeezed in. No app and no sign-up.
The crowd watches
Each caricature is drawn on the display, lands on the sender’s phone, and we print it for them.
Which events is it right for?
Trade show booths
A gold-framed display drawing people live is easy to spot from across a show floor. Visitors stop to watch, then pull out their phones to get drawn. That pause is your team’s opening, and you can ask for an email address with each selfie.
Conferences and receptions
Put it by the bar or the registration desk. Delegates send a selfie between sessions and come back to find themselves on the display.
Holiday and staff parties
Nobody is organized into anything. Colleagues send a selfie from their table and the whole department turns up on the display, one face at a time.
Brand activations and launches
Because people use their own phones, the activation is not tied to one spot. Anyone in the room can take part, and each of them leaves holding a print with your logo on it.
What do people take away?
People leave with a print and a file they can post. Your company keeps the whole wall.
A printed caricature
We print each finished caricature on-site. Prints are included in every corporate package. It leaves in a pocket and ends up on a desk.
A copy to post
The caricature comes back to the phone that sent the selfie, ready for LinkedIn, the team chat or a new profile picture.
Your logo on the wall and the prints
Your logo is laid over every caricature, on the phone copy and on the print, so the thing people carry out of the room has your name on it.
Everyone on one poster
After the event we send the whole wall as a print-ready poster file with your logo in the header, plus an online gallery of every caricature for three months.
How much does a corporate caricature booth cost?
$1,950 for three hours, $2,450 for four, $2,950 for a full day. Prints included. Prices in CAD plus HST.
Corporate & brand activations
from $1,950 · 3-hour minimumA full day is up to 10 hours, enough to cover a show floor from open to close. Every caricature goes to the sender’s phone and is printed. Planning a wedding instead? See the wedding Caricature Booth.
Have a show or a party date in mind?
We have one Caricature Booth, so it goes to one event per date. Send the date, the city and your goal, and a proposal comes back within 24 hours.
Caricature Booth, Draw Bots or a photo booth?
Three ways to give people something with their face on it. They suit different floors.
Caricature Booth
Works from a selfie, so people take part from anywhere in the room and nobody lines up. The display shows every drawing to the crowd. Pick it when you want something visible from a distance.
Draw Bots
Robot arms sketch each visitor with a real pen on a card while they stand and watch, which holds people at your booth. We ran them on EY’s booth at ServiceNow World Forum in Toronto on November 3, 2026, and drew more than 350 sketches that day.
A photo booth
The Caricature Booth only draws. If the brief calls for photos, a branded print or a 360 video, start with our corporate photo booths, or run one beside the Caricature Booth.
Corporate caricature booth questions
What is a corporate caricature booth?
A display that draws your staff, guests or booth visitors as caricatures. Each person sends a selfie from their own phone, and the drawing appears live on a light-gold framed display on an easel, where the crowd can watch. Everyone gets the caricature on their phone, and we print it for them.
How much does a corporate caricature booth cost?
$1,950 for 3 hours, $2,450 for 4 hours and $2,950 for a full day of up to 10 hours, with prints included. Corporate bookings start at three hours. Prices are in CAD plus HST.
Do visitors need an app or an account?
No. They point their phone camera at the code and a page opens in the browser. Nobody downloads anything or signs up: selfie, send, and the display starts drawing.
Can it carry our logo and colours?
Yes. Your logo is laid over every caricature, on the phone copy and on the print, and it sits in the header of the poster of the finished wall. The page people open on their phones can carry your logo and colours as well.
Can we collect email addresses?
Yes. We can ask each person for an email address before they receive their caricature, as an optional or a required step, and send you the list as a spreadsheet after the event. Phone numbers are not collected. Canada’s anti-spam law still applies to that list, so we agree with you beforehand how consent is asked.
How many people can it draw in an hour?
Each drawing takes about a minute: roughly 20 seconds to make, then about 40 seconds to draw on the display. Several are made at once, and the software’s maker puts one display at around 100 people an hour at its busiest events.
Is what people send checked?
Yes. Every photo and message is checked before it is drawn. Nudity, offensive text and pictures of public figures do not reach the display, and we can take any drawing off the wall.
Can staff send their photos before the event?
Yes. We can email your guest list a link in the weeks before, so the wall is already full when the doors open. We can see who has taken part and remind the people who have not.
What does the company get afterwards?
An online gallery of every caricature for three months, each one downloadable at full size, and the whole wall as one print-ready poster file with your logo in the header.
What size are the prints?
4x6 inches, printed on-site and included in every corporate package.
What do you need from the venue or show?
An internet connection for the display. The people taking part need phone signal or wifi. Tell us the venue or the show and we will check before your date.
Can you send a certificate of insurance?
Yes. Pic Booth is fully insured, and we send a certificate of insurance on request.
Can we book through our agency?
Yes. We can work through an agency as the station inside its plan, or directly with your team.
Is the Caricature Booth a photo booth?
No. It only draws. If you want photos as well, add one of our corporate photo booths beside it.
How is it different from Draw Bots?
Draw Bots are robot arms that sketch each visitor with a real pen on a card, one person at a time, right in front of them. The Caricature Booth works from a selfie, so people take part from anywhere in the room, and every drawing shows on the display for the crowd.
