BOOTH MASTERMIND LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS 2023

 Our industry has come a very long way over the last 2 decades, I don’t think I have ever worked in an industry which is so supportive to industry peers, works collectively and comes together to make the entire industry better, quite like the photo booth industry.

And there is so many people who have been at the foundations to creating this open, transparent and helpful path for the people coming up below them… We wanted recognise them!

Steve Behen, Darkroom Software and Ismail Humet took to the stage to present the 2023 Life Booth Mastermind Time Achievement Awards to: Sam Eitzen, SnapBar

Shelly Rangsiyakul, PopSocial
