What is Singles & Networking?
Singles & Networking is ALIVE's built-in social feature — a fun, interactive twist on the traditional photo booth experience. It turns your booth into a social hub where guests can connect with each other through photos and swipes.
ALIVE offers two modes to match the vibe of your event:
- Singles mode — A matchmaking experience for social events, parties, and singles nights
- Networking mode — A professional connection tool for corporate events, conferences, and mixers
What Makes It Special?
At social events, a photo booth is already a conversation starter. Singles & Networking takes it further by letting guests:
- Create a profile with their booth photos
- Browse other guests' profiles in a swipe-style interface
- Express interest and see who liked them back
- Connect with matches right at the event
It's like a mini dating app (Singles mode) or a professional networking tool (Networking mode) — but in person, at the event, powered by your photo booth.

Two Modes, One Feature
Singles Mode
The original matchmaking experience. Guests create a profile with their name, photo, age, and gender, then swipe to find matches. Perfect for singles events, parties, and any social gathering where connecting people is the goal. Features a vibrant pink/rose themed interface.
Networking Mode
Built for professional events. Instead of dating-style profiles, guests add their company, role, LinkedIn profile, and professional interests (Tech, Marketing, Design, Finance, AI, Startups, and more). Features a sleek blue/cyan themed interface that fits the corporate vibe.
You choose the mode when setting up the event — see Setting Up a Singles Event for details.
Who Is It For?
Singles Mode
- Singles events and speed dating — The perfect match (pun intended)
- Holiday parties — Add some extra fun and interaction

How It Works (Quick Overview)
- A guest steps up to the booth and takes their photos
- They create a quick profile with their name, photo, and relevant details (dating info or professional info, depending on the mode)
- They can browse other guests' profiles and swipe
- If two guests like each other — it's a match!
- Matches can view each other's profiles and connect
The whole thing runs through the web — guests access it on their phones after scanning a QR code at the booth.
