# How to Make a Retirement Slideshow

Collect coworker and family photos for a retirement slideshow.

[**Create your event**](https://ownpix.app/#pricing)

Guests can share from their browser, with no app to download.

Plan the slideshow

- Plan the story
- Ask for photos
- Arrange the moments
- Test playback

## The short answer

Start with a few chapters of the retiree’s story, then ask coworkers and family for photos. Choose a format and test it at the venue before the celebration.

## A simple plan

### **Plan the story**

Choose a few chapters or people to include.

### **Ask for photos**

Send one clear request with a deadline.

### **Arrange the moments**

Mix early memories, work, and life outside work.

### **Test playback**

Check the screen and sound before guests arrive.

## 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.

## How OwnPix helps

OwnPix can collect photos from coworkers and family using one event link. Standard and Pro also include a live slideshow for event uploads.
