When the nitrogen is poured over ice cream or cocktail products, evaporation causes a crowd-pleasing cloud of smoke. Ice cream comes in more than 40 different flavors, and a variety of custom cocktails are also available. The company can cater events throughout the Los Angeles area. At BizBash Live, SuperCool Creamery was part of AFR Event Furnishings' booth. The furniture and accessories company rents items for special events in major cities across the United States.

SelfieBooth.com’s Boomerang Array
SelfieBooth.com’s Boomerang Array

Think beyond the photo booth with Selfiebooth.com’s Boomerang Array: 11 DSLR cameras that fire simultaneously, capturing the scene from 11 separate angles to produce an animated GIF. When the images are played in succession, the resulting GIF appears to fly back and forth around the subject. Images can then be shared via text message, email, or social media; the center camera in the array also produces a high-resolution print with a custom branded overlay. SelfieBooth.com's products can be custom-wrapped with full-color logos, hashtags, and other graphics, and the company has graphic designers on call to help with designs. Pricing depends on the length and location of the event, and the company provides custom photo activations for events around the country.
