Photo booth Kitchener-Waterloo
A Booth for K-W's Students, Techies and Oktoberfest Crowds
Kitchener-Waterloo packs two universities, a college and a booming tech scene into one region, and a photo booth in Kitchener-Waterloo has no shortage of willing customers. SmileMore places free walk-in booths in K-W venues. We run the booth and pay you a share of every session.

Why K-W
Students, startups and one very big festival
Between the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier and Conestoga College, K-W has one of the densest student populations in Ontario.
- Oktoberfest. Every October, K-W hosts the largest Bavarian festival in North America. Bars and halls fill up and everyone wants a photo.
- Student nights. Uptown Waterloo and the area around the campuses are busy every week of the term.
- Tech team outings. Startups and big tech offices book group nights. A booth is the easy team photo.

Proof, not promises
Our first campus booth: what happened at NSU
Our first booth went into the lobby of the Don Taft University Center at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, wrapped in Sharks blue. Students found it on their own, and nobody on staff has to touch it. Ontario booths run on the same program with the same service. Move-in week drove a lot of month one, so read these numbers as a strong start, not a forecast.
