OwnPix Give contributors a useful prompt
Ask former colleagues, family, and friends for one or two photos they would be happy to share. Include a deadline and one place to send them. A specific prompt, such as “a moment you remember working together,” is easier to answer than a request for every photo.
Choose a format
| Format | Useful for | Prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Edited slideshow | A planned presentation | Playback file, screen, and any sound |
| Live photo gallery | Photos added during the event | Guest upload link and reliable connection |
| Printed display | A table guests can visit | Prints, labels, and display space |
Ask permission before displaying pictures, especially workplace photos that may include confidential information. If you add music to a video, check the rights for where it will be played or published.
Test the venue setup
Confirm who provides the screen, cables, and connection, and who will start the presentation. For a surprise event, coordinate the upload link and photo requests without including the retiree until it is time.
