The challenge

15–20 symposiums a year, and photos for every attendee at each one

Over 20 years, KALDAT has grown to around 10,000 members and roughly 50 standing academic directors who share clinical knowledge on skin lasers, botulinum toxin, fillers, thread lifting, obesity and hair-loss treatment. It publishes the journal The Aesthetics and founded ICLAS, the International Conference of Laser, Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery.

With 15 to 20 symposiums a year, KALDAT needed to get photos to every speaker, delegate and guest, at every event, without a manual sorting job afterwards.

KALDAT needed to get photos to every speaker, delegate and guest, at every event, without a manual sorting job afterwards.

What KALDAT needed

  • Photos for every attendee, not just the speakers
  • Thousands of images per symposium
  • A process that repeats event after event
  • Easy access for a medical-professional audience

The solution

One AI gallery per symposium, searchable by face

FotoOwl gave the symposium one gallery that covered plenary sessions, speakers at the podium and the exhibition floor. Each need mapped to a FotoOwl feature.

  • Find yourself

    Face-recognition search

    Attendees take a selfie and get only the photos they appear in, from tens of thousands.

  • Curate

    Highlights & Stories

    Key moments surface first for organisers and social sharing.

  • Repeat

    Same setup, every symposium

    One gallery template that can be reused across the year's calendar.

  • Share

    Guest download

    Delegates save their photos to share with clinics and colleagues.

How it worked

  1. Step 1

    Shoot

  2. Step 2

    Upload

    Photos flow into the event's FotoOwl gallery.

  3. Step 3

    Match

    AI indexes faces across the full set.

  4. Step 4

    Deliver

    Each attendee opens the link, takes a selfie and gets their photos.
