Photo Booth Expo: Have You Outgrown This Room?

What happens when three industry veterans sit down in Vegas and realize the conference they keep coming back to no longer feeds them? They build something new.

This episode is different. I'm sitting down with two people who have been shaping this industry for over 16 years, Meir and Lisa, the original founders of PBI (Photo Booth Professionals International), a conference that people in our industry are STILL talking about to this day. We're recording live from Photo Booth Expo, and we're finally sharing what the three of us have been quietly building for the past two years.

Let's get real. If you've been coming to the same conferences, hearing the same speakers, walking the same trade show floor, and leaving with a bag full of swag but no actual game plan, you already know something needs to change. You're not here for another tutorial on lighting setups or trading card templates. You're here because you've built something real and you're ready for what's next.

That's exactly why we created Illuminate, a curated, application-only retreat designed specifically for six-figure and seven-figure photo booth founders who are ready to scale, not just learn about it. We're talking about a room of 100 hand-picked operators, curated vendors, speakers from inside AND outside the industry, and a format designed to leave you with an actual roadmap, not just inspiration overload.

In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on everything: why we built it, who it's for, who it's NOT for, and what you can expect from a room that's never existed in our industry before.

What You'll Learn:

• Why the current conference model no longer serves scaling founders and what we're doing about it
• The real difference between attending a trade show and investing in your next level
• How PBI changed the game for photo booth education and why we're bringing that energy back, elevated
• Who belongs in this room (and the honest truth about who doesn't)
• Why we're curating attendees, vendors, and speakers instead of opening it up to everyone
• The format we've designed to help you leave with a personalized action plan, not just notes you'll never look at
• What we want people to say about this room five years from now
• How to apply for one of the 100 spots available
