    You're the
    star of your
    own card.

    Custom stats. Your photo. Your story. Printed and delivered at the event — a one-of-a-kind keepsake no one throws away.

    The URBNevents Trading Card Experience is the most personalized activation we offer. Guests complete a short survey, step in front of the camera, and walk away with a fully custom trading card — their photo on the front, their own stats and data on the back, branded to your event, printed in premium quality, and delivered digitally to their phone.

    What is it?

    Not a photo booth. A collectible.

    The Trading Card Experience transforms every guest into the star of a completely personalized trading card — their face, their name, their custom stats, their story. It's built on the same platform as our photo experiences but taken to an entirely new level of personalization and creativity. Every card is designed for your event's theme, branded to your identity, and printed in premium quality that guests actually keep.

    Unlike any other photo activation, the trading card becomes a physical conversation piece — something guests show each other, collect, trade, and bring home. At conferences, every attendee has a different card. At sports events, every player's card reflects their actual stats. At brand activations, the card carries your product into every home it ends up in.

    Fully personalized

    Every card is unique to the individual guest. Name, photo, stats, title, and custom data — all pulled from their survey and their photo.

    Custom designed for your event

    The card template, theme, color system, stat categories, and branding are all built specifically for your event. No two events have the same card design.

    A keepsake that gets kept

    Unlike a standard photo print, trading cards have inherent collectibility. Guests don't throw them away. They trade them. They display them. They post them.

    Your answers become your card stats

    100% customizable fields
    The personalization engine

    Their answers
    become their
    stats.

    Before their photo is taken, guests complete a short, event-specific survey — custom-built by our team for your event. The answers they provide don't just get collected — they become the stat blocks, bio lines, and data points that appear on their card. A sales conference? Their pipeline numbers become their stats. A sports event? Their actual performance data. A brand activation? Fun, brand-relevant attributes that make every guest feel like the hero of your brand's story.

    Every survey is completely custom to your event. You decide the questions, the stat categories, the labels, and the tone. We build the survey, connect it to the card template, and handle the entire data pipeline automatically.

    • Survey questions designed specifically for your event theme
    • Guest answers auto-populate as stats on their card
    • Name, title, and custom bio pulled from survey
    • Fun and serious stat categories — you choose the tone
    • Lead capture built in — every survey response is captured
    • Data export post-event in CSV format
    • Works for individuals and groups
    • Handles hundreds of surveys seamlessly
    The process

    Survey. Snap. Card. Done.

    01

    Tell us who you are

    Guests fill out a short, custom survey on a kiosk, tablet, or their own phone via QR code. The survey is tailored to your event — asking for the specific stats, attributes, and data that will appear on their card. It takes about 60–90 seconds.

    02

    Strike your pose

    After completing the survey, guests step in front of our camera setup. Our professional attendant or photographer guides posing for a clean, confident card photo. Studio lighting ensures every guest looks sharp.

    03

    Your card comes to life

    Our system merges the guest's photo with their survey data and generates their custom card in real time — name, stats, photo, and all branding applied automatically. The card is unique to them. Every stat reflects their own answers.

    04

    A keepsake in their hands

    The finished card is printed instantly in premium quality and handed to the guest. Simultaneously, the digital version is delivered to their phone via SMS or email for sharing to social media. They leave with both a physical card and a digital asset.

    From survey to printed card in your hands: approximately 3–5 minutes. Built for steady event flow.

    Built for your event

    Every element. Fully yours.

    The Trading Card Experience is the most customizable product we offer. Everything — the card template, the color system, the stat categories, the typography style, the photo treatment, the border design, the rarity tiers, the survey questions — is designed from scratch for your specific event. No templates pulled off a shelf. No generic designs.

    Sports / athletic

    Stat lines, team colors, and stadium-style layouts.

    Corporate / professional

    Role, tenure, and performance stats in your brand system.

    Superhero / fantasy

    Powers, origin story, and bold comic-inspired art direction.

    Custom themes available — share your vision and we build it from scratch.

    Digital + physical

    The card they hold. And the one they post.

    Every guest receives both a physical printed card and a digital version delivered to their phone. The digital card is optimized for social sharing — portrait format, high resolution, and branded for your event. One tap to post to Instagram. One tap to text a friend.

    The digital card performs exceptionally well on social media — it's visual, personal, and unusual enough to stop a scroll. Guests who post their trading card generate genuine organic curiosity and engagement from their followers. Every share expands your event's reach.

    • Premium physical print handed to guest immediately
    • Digital card delivered via SMS or email simultaneously
    • Optimized for Instagram, TikTok, and social sharing
    • Pre-loaded event hashtag and branded caption
    • One-tap download and share

    Use cases

    Every event. A new collection.

    🏢

    Corporate conferences & summits

    Every attendee becomes a collector. Cards feature professional stats pulled from the survey — years of experience, expertise areas, fun personality attributes. Guests trade cards during networking breaks, creating genuine conversation starters. Organizers receive every survey response as lead data.

    Sports events & tournaments

    Players, participants, or fans each receive a card featuring their actual performance stats, position, team, and photo. At golf tournaments, handicap and score. At fitness events, race time and distance. At company sports days, made-up fun stats that celebrate everyone.

    Brand activations & product launches

    Put your product or brand inside the card design. Guest stats reference your product's attributes. The card frame carries your visual identity. Every guest becomes part of your brand's story — and takes it home.

    🎪

    Trade shows & expos

    The most effective traffic driver at any trade show. Guests line up for a personalized trading card. The survey captures their contact info and qualification data. You leave with premium branded content and a full lead list.

    🎓

    Schools & alumni events

    Students, alumni, or faculty each get a card celebrating their academic identity. Major, graduation year, superlative, and a fun stat block. Alumni love the nostalgia. Students love the novelty.

    👑

    VIP & gala events

    Assign rarity tiers to your guest list. VIPs receive Legend cards with foil accents. General guests receive Rare or Standard. The exclusivity of a higher-tier card becomes a talking point and a status symbol within the event.

    Premium physical product

    A print worthy of keeping.

    The physical trading card is printed to professional collectible standards — the same quality as commercial trading cards. Sharp color reproduction, clean card edges, and a finish that feels premium in your hand.

    We offer three finish options: standard gloss, premium matte soft-touch, and foil accent printing with metallic highlights on key design elements. Every option is printed instantly onsite — guests don't wait for shipping or a gallery link to get the real thing.
