Manila, Philippines

For company events in Manila

Manila events run the full range, from garden weddings in Tagaytay drives away to ballroom receptions in Makati and BGC.

Manila celebrations often stretch from a church or garden ceremony into a hotel ballroom reception, with grandparents, barkada groups, and overseas relatives all on the guest list. That mix means devices, languages, and familiarity with apps vary widely — a browser QR flow removes the install step that usually kills participation.

Traffic between Intramuros, Makati, BGC, and Tagaytay also means guests arrive in waves. A single shared gallery keeps early arrivals and late reception guests in the same roll without chasing albums after the weekend.

Hosts in Metro Manila usually budget in PHP and expect a clear guest-cap tier before printing invites. Pair the QR with the welcome tarp and table cards so the prompt feels part of the styling, not an afterthought flyer.

Power outages and hotel guest Wi‑Fi captive portals are common enough that a short 'use mobile data if the lobby Wi‑Fi asks for a room number' line on the card saves the first ten minutes of confusion.

Local tips

Hosting in Manila

  • Cover the church-to-reception handoff

    Print the same QR for ceremony exit and reception entrance — Manila guests often change venues and miss a single station.

  • Prompt older relatives in Tagalog/English

    A short bilingual line on the card helps grandparents join without asking younger relatives for help.

  • Put a spare QR at the VIP table

    Sponsors, ninongs/ninangs, and overseas family often sit apart from the dance floor — one dedicated card there lifts their contribution rate.

Built for company events

Why corporate event photos rarely land

  • You hire a photographer for the keynote but lose the dinner, bar, and unconference
  • Slack channels for event photos die after day one
  • Marketing needs candid people-photos for next year's deck
  • Shared drives are a privacy headache to manage

What you get

Tuned for company events in Manila

  • From off-sites to multi-day conferences

    Same flow whether it's 15 engineers in a coworking space or 800 attendees across three days. Per-guest limits scale with the event.

  • Lanyards, signage, and Slack

    Print the QR on lanyards, slide it into the keynote deck, drop it in your event Slack header. One link, every channel.

  • PIN-protected and private by default

    Lock the event behind a PIN so only attendees can join. Keep the gallery hidden until you're ready to share. Uploads live in private storage.

  • Bulk download for your comms team

    Hand the whole event off to marketing with one ZIP. Uploads carry the guest's display name so you know who took what when you're picking shots for the deck.

Setup tips

Setup tips for corporate eventsManila

  1. 1

    Pin the QR in your event Slack header

    Highest-conversion placement we see — attendees keep coming back to Slack between sessions, which keeps the camera top-of-mind.

  2. 2

    Set a higher shot limit for multi-day events

    60–100 shots per guest works well for a 2–3 day conference. Single-day off-sites do fine on 30–40.

  3. 3

    Brief the speakers

    A 15-second 'snap a photo with the QR' from stage between sessions gets more uploads than any signage.

  4. 4

    Print the QR on Filipino-style invites

    Slip the QR onto your invitation suite and the welcome tarp — Manila guests respond best when the prompt is part of the styling, not a separate flyer.

Can I require a PIN before guests can upload?

Yes. PIN-protect the event so only people you share the PIN with can join — useful for internal off-sites and private corporate events.

How private are the uploads?

Uploads are stored privately, with no public listings. Hosts control gallery visibility, and only people with the event link (and PIN, if set) can reach the camera page. See the privacy page for full data treatment.

Is this GDPR-friendly?

PicShots uses no advertising or behavioural tracking and only strictly-necessary cookies. Hosts can delete photos and entire events at any time, and guests can delete their own uploads.

Can we customise the look for our company?

Self-serve branding isn't available yet. For larger corporate events, reach out via the contact page — we're happy to talk about what's possible.

Does it work for fully-remote teams?

Yes for hybrid moments like an off-site or holiday party. For purely remote events with no live shared room, a guest camera adds less value — Slack or a normal album is fine.
