what we bring to the table ~
our toolkit
everything you need to make any event completely phone-free. whether we're running it or you are.
The Present™
our custom phone pouch. guests slip their phone in, seal it shut, and keep it on them the whole time. apple pay still works. they can step outside if they need to. and when the night's over, they take it home as a gift. fill it with brand goodies, samples, or whatever you want your guests to remember you by.
- → fully customizable. our team can handle the design too.
- → apple pay still works
- → guests keep their phone on them. zero liability.
- → QR code on every pouch. drives guests to a post-event digital experience.
cameras & photography
just because the phones are away doesn't mean the moments are lost. we can provide disposable cameras directly or loop in our partners for photo booths, polaroid stations, and more. the night still gets captured. just not through a screen.
- → disposable cameras shipped pre-event
- → development + digital delivery included
- → photo booths + polaroid stations via our partners
- → all photos linked to pouch QR codes
phone lockers & signage
for events that want a harder line. guests check their phone at the door and pick it up on the way out. we provide the lockers, the signage, and the staffing playbook so the whole process is smooth.
- → branded phone locker stations
- → custom signage & guest communication
- → staffing guide included
- → great for weddings, corporate, & private events
the QR code on every pouch
every pouch has a QR code on the back. when guests scan it after the event, it can link to whatever you want. disposable camera photos from the night. your social media. merch. a recap video. the next event. your website.
the event ends but the touchpoint doesn't. it's the bridge between a phone-free night and everything that comes after. and it's completely customizable per event.
link it to anything
- → disposable camera photos from the night
- → event photo gallery
- → your social media or website
- → merch store
- → your next event
- → a custom landing page
the event ends. the connection doesn't. →
three ways to work together ~
pick what makes sense for you
01
sponsor a kanso event
our events sell out. the people who come aren't on their phones. they're present, engaged, and paying attention to what's around them. that includes your brand. put your product in front of people who are genuinely in the moment.
- → branded pouch placement
- → on-site product activations
- → co-branded event marketing
- → access to our mailing list
02
we plan the whole thing
you want a phone-free experience but don't want to think about any of the details. we got it. we'll concept it, produce it, staff it, and run it. you just show up and watch your guests actually talk to each other.
- → full event concept + production
- → venue sourcing + coordination
- → phone-free infrastructure + staffing
- → photography + post-event content
03
make your event phone-free
you've got the event. we'll handle the phone-free side. we provide custom-branded pouches, lockers, signage, and on-site staffing (if you need it). we're with you the whole way.
- → custom-branded phone pouches
- → phone lockers + signage
- → on-site staffing available
- → disposable cameras add-on
built for ~
who we work with
brands & sponsors
get your product in front of people who are actually present. not scrolling.
venues & hospitality
bars, restaurants, and event spaces that want to offer something their guests can't get anywhere else.
corporate teams
offsites and retreats where people actually talk to each other instead of checking slack under the table.
weddings & private events
for the couple who wants their guests in the moment. not watching the ceremony through a screen.
artists & performers
musicians, comedians, and creators who want their audience locked in. not livestreaming.
communities & nonprofits
organizations building real-world connection, one phone-free gathering at a time.
simple as that ~
how it works
01
reach out
shoot us an email with what you're working on. a rooftop party, a corporate retreat, a wedding. whatever it is, we want to hear about it.
02
we'll customize a plan
every event is different. we'll put together exactly what you need. pouches, lockers, cameras, staffing, the whole thing. or just part of it. up to you.
03
show up and enjoy it
we handle the phone-free side so you don't have to think about it. you just get to watch a room full of people actually talking to each other.
let's create something real ~
