Everything your retirement party needs, behind one QR code
Included in Standard & Pro
Farewells from every office, including the remote ones
Send the link two weeks ahead. Colleagues in other time zones, former teammates and people who've long since moved on record a farewell or write one, whether or not they make the party.
Works from any browser, anywhere.
Work-appropriate, without anyone policing it
Upload approval holds every photo until an organiser approves it, and you can add co-organisers from HR or the team to share the job.
Add as many event admins as you need.

Thirty years on the screen during the speeches
Old photos from launches, offsites and office parties play on the slideshow alongside the ones taken at the party, as colleagues upload them.
Shows new uploads the moment they arrive.
Why QR photo sharing works for a retirement party
A retirement marks decades of work, and the people who shared it are often spread across offices, time zones and former teams. A shared upload link lets colleagues send photos from past projects and record a farewell voice message, whether or not they can make the party.
On the day, a QR code on the tables collects photos from the celebration itself. The result is one album, with a guestbook of messages, that the retiree can keep and replay.

What hosts say about Eventoly
We put the QR code on the welcome sign and let everyone do their thing. Guests loved this so much they couldn't stop playing with it. The next day, we had hundreds of photos from our guests. Love it! And they didn't have to download an app
I've tried a bunch of these for clients and most ask guests to download something nobody wants to download. With Eventoly the QR just works. I had a 70-year-old uncle of the groom upload three videos on his own. That sold me. Been using it for events ever since.
For my 30th I really didn't want to chase everyone for their photos like I always end up doing. The QR code went on the table cards and that was it. A week later I downloaded everything in one zip. Way easier than texting 15 different group chats.
