Live in the moment while capturing your event from every angle!
"We should have taken a picture!"—how many times have you said or heard that? Or maybe you did take photos, but later had no idea whose phone they were on? Capturing moments ensures those memories don’t fade, giving your future self the chance to relive and share them.
One of the best parts of a great event is looking back at all the pictures and reminiscing about the fun. Events, Trade Shows and Conventions thrive on engagement, networking, and creating lasting memories. A great way to enhance these events is by using photo-sharing apps that allow attendees to capture and share high-quality images in real time. If you're in charge of planning, you’re often so busy running the event that you barely have time to appreciate it. So why not let attendees take charge of capturing the fun and the result of your hard work for you?
Instead of relying on social media platforms like Facebook, which often degrade image quality, dedicated photo-sharing apps ensure crisp, clear photos while offering extra features like customization, printing, and live slideshows. With plenty of budget-friendly options available, these apps make it easy to collect and share event photos, creating a valuable resource for future promotions.

We recently used Kululu at the Kansas Agriculture Conservation District’s Annual Convention and found it to be an invaluable tool. By designing a simple flyer with a QR code for attendees to scan and upload their photos, we effortlessly collected over 400 high-quality images. While our small team can't be everywhere at once, this ensured us we wouldn't miss an angle! These photos became a valuable asset for social media engagement and future event promotions, helping us showcase the energy and success of the convention.
