How BC Tourism Brands Can Turn Events Into Social Media Moments
BC has spent decades building a reputation for world-class experiences. Here's how event planners and tourism brands can make sure their activations live up to it.
British Columbia doesn't do anything halfway. This is a province that has hosted the Winter Olympics, is gearing up for the FIFA World Cup, and draws visitors from around the world for its mountains, coastlines, food scene, and culture. BC has built a reputation as a world-class destination, and that reputation is earned through experiences people don't forget — many of which end up shared millions of times online.
We were glad to support the 2026 BC Tourism Industry Conference this year.
The event brought together some of the province's most recognized names in tourism — Rocky Mountaineer, Destination BC, Vancouver Convention Centre, and many more — all focused on the same question: how do we keep raising the bar?
BC's tourism sector understands better than any other industry that the experience is the product. A gondola ride in Squamish, a whale watching tour off Victoria, a night at a Tofino resort. BC has spent decades perfecting the art of creating moments people carry with them for years. Increasingly, those moments are also the ones they share.
In an era where a single guest video can reach more people than a paid campaign, the smartest tourism marketing happens when the experience itself gives people something worth posting. That's not an accident — it's something event planners and activation teams can design for intentionally.
For event planners and agencies working on activations in BC, the Glambot® is a natural fit. We can set up against any backdrop — a mountain vista, a waterfront venue, a landmark urban space — making it a powerful way to showcase what makes this province special. Guests walk away with a stunning slow-motion video keepsake they actually want to share, which means your tourism marketing reaches new audiences organically, without any of the forced quality that comes with traditional campaigns.
If you're planning an activation in BC and want to give guests something worth talking about, we'd love to work with you.
2026 Oscars Glambot Moments | Inspiration for Vancouver Events
We reviewed every Glambot® clip from the 2026 Oscars red carpet and picked the five moments worth studying — from Teyana Taylor's fierce energy to a kiss that said everything. Here's what we noticed, and what it means for events in Vancouver.
The 2026 Oscars Glambot was a study in commitment. We've gone through every clip from this year's carpet and picked the five moments worth studying. Here's what we noticed, and what it means for the events we bring the Glambot® to in Vancouver.
Teyana Taylor
Come With Energy
Before her shot, Teyana Taylor is already negotiating. She wants her clutch — the one with the long shimmering fabric that matches her Chanel gown — and she gets it. She had a plan for her dress tail too, though what actually made the clip wasn't the tail at all.
It was her face. Teeth bared, fully committed, shaking the clutch like she means it. It's fierce in the best way, and you can tell from the BTS footage that she's laughing the moment it's done. The energy is real, and it came entirely from her.
Guests who arrive that switched on — who genuinely want to make something of the moment — always produce the best clips.
We posted a side-by-side on Instagram from a recent Vancouver fashion show (EnBlanc by Hot Republic) — @fannychenab in a hand-painted red gown, train lifted and captured perfectly in slow motion. The dress in motion is the whole story. Who did it better?
Keltie Knight
Let the Dress Do Its Job
Keltie Knight spent the evening hosting E!'s Oscars coverage, then stepped in front of the Glambot herself. She takes the long skirt of her yellow gown and tosses it — right to left — and in slow motion it fans out into a graceful arc that holds the frame beautifully.
This is what slow motion is for. The fabric catches the light, the movement is fluid, and the whole thing has a glamour to it that you simply can't get from a standard photo.
The lesson for events: if someone is wearing a dress with length and movement, this is the move. Guests put real effort into what they wear. A fabric toss is one of the most satisfying ways to make that count — and once people see what it looks like on playback, they want to do it again.
Erin Lim Rhodes
Combinations Work
Erin Lim Rhodes is wearing a hybrid outfit — part tuxedo, part dress — and her pose matches the energy of it. She does a twist and an arm fold at the same time, and pulls both off cleanly. The combinations are what make this clip stand out: two moves, one outfit that refuses to be one thing.
The technical takeaway is worth holding onto. Once the move is made, she holds it — arms folded, eyes on the camera — and stays there through the full arc of the shot. The camera is still moving after you think the clip is done, and guests who understand this consistently come out better. Hold the pose. Maintain eye contact. Let the camera finish.
Zoe Saldaña
A Simple Choice, Made Well
Zoe Saldaña leans forward, clasps her hands behind her back, and blows a kiss. That's the clip. It works because she does it with complete elegance — the kind that comes from someone who's at ease and not overthinking it.
Red carpet Glambots tend toward composed, neutral expressions. Zoe's kiss gives her clip a warmth that stands apart. The facial expression is the pose.
For event planners thinking about guest experience: this is a useful clip to show people who aren't sure what to do in front of the camera. Not everything needs to be a spin or a dress toss. A single choice, made with confidence, is enough.
Ji-young Yoo
Take the Risk
Ji-young Yoo was on the carpet celebrating a legitimate piece of history — KPop Demon Hunters' original song "Golden" had just become the first K-pop track ever to win an Academy Award. Her Glambot pose matches the moment: arms stretched wide, body tilting, filling the frame in a way that looks something like a giant Y. It's not a pose most guests would choose.
She holds it the entire time, and her personality comes through clearly because of it. That's the point. Clips are better when someone expresses themselves — and Ji-young Yoo's is a good example of what that looks like when someone commits to it fully.
Red Carpet Direction, Vancouver Roots
Cole Walliser, originally from Vancouver, BC, directed the Glambot® for E! News at this year's Oscars. In the seconds he has with each guest, he reads the room, keeps the energy light, and gives just enough direction to make the moment work. That approach — minimal, well-timed, confident — is a large part of why these clips look the way they do.
It's the same standard we hold ourselves to when we bring the Glambot® to events in Vancouver.
Bringing This to Your Event
Vancouver Glambot® Experience is Vancouver's provider of the official Glambot®. Through our partner network we are proud to also bring the Glambot® to events in Toronto, Montreal, and major cities worldwide.

The 2026 Grammys Glambot Moments Everyone Shared (and Why They Work at Vancouver Events)
The 2026 Grammys delivered a wide range of Glambot moments, from full movement to near stillness. These are the clips that stood out, and why the same choices work so well at live events in Vancouver.
The 2026 Grammy Awards gave us a strong mix of Glambot clips that were fun to watch and even better to study. Some celebrities leaned into their movement. Others used strong eye contact to make a statement. All of them made clear decisions the moment the camera rolled.
When we produce live Glambot events in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, we see familiar patterns from event guests. What looks effortless on screen usually comes down to a bit of preparation, confidence, and choosing one idea that fits the person in front of the lens.
For planners putting together fundraisers, galas, or corporate events in Vancouver, these Grammy Awards moments are useful reference points. They show how different personalities approach the camera — and how a wide range of guests can still walk away with a clip they’re excited to share.
Karol G
Let the Dress Lead
The Moment
Karol G’s Glambot clip stood out immediately because the movement came from the wardrobe. The dress flips fully, creating shape and energy without requiring her to do much else.
Why This Works
The fabric carries the motion, which gives the camera something dynamic to track while she stays composed and present. It’s clean, intentional, and looks stunning.
A Takeaway We See at Events
This is a pose idea for guests wearing anything with movement. When the outfit does the work, the body can stay calm and the result still feels dramatic.
Bad Bunny
Let the Camera Work
The Moment
Bad Bunny’s Glambot moment is a reminder that you don’t need to do much at all. He stays largely still, maintains eye contact, and lets the camera move around him.
Why This Works
The lack of movement gives the shot clarity. The eye line stays locked. The camera has space to do its job, and the result feels confident rather than flat.
A Takeaway We See at Events
This approach works extremely well for guests who don’t want to perform. Presence and eye contact alone can carry an entire clip.
Benson Boone
The 360
The Moment
Benson Boone commits to a full 360 spin — and lands it cleanly. It’s one of the hardest moves to pull off on the Glambot, which is exactly why it stands out.
Why This Works
The spin is decisive and smooth, giving the camera a clear arc to follow. There’s no hesitation, which keeps the shot cohesive from start to finish.
A Takeaway We See at Events
This is a great example of what full commitment looks like. It’s also a reminder that bigger moves only work when someone is confident executing them. A quick practice pose always helps for the real take.
Haley Kalil
The Hair Push
The Moment
Haley Kalil gave us two Glambot moments at the Grammys. The full hair twirl is fun, but the more approachable pose is the hair push.
Why This Works
The movement is simple and controlled. It adds motion without disrupting the rest of her look, which matters when guests still want to enjoy the rest of the evening.
A Takeaway We See at Events
This is an excellent option for guests who want a polished clip without risking a move that’s hard to reset. One clean gesture is often all you need.
Rosé
A light dress toss
The Moment
Rosé’s Glambot is similar to Karol G’s, but with less emphasis on height and drama. The movement is softer and more restrained.
Why This Works
The fabric moves just enough to add dimension without overpowering the frame. Everything stays elegant and controlled.
A Takeaway We See at Events
This is a strong reference for lighter dresses or subtler silhouettes. You don’t need to throw the fabric high for it to read well on camera.
What These Moments Have in Common
The common theme with all of these clips is clarity. Each person commits to one idea that suits them, then lets the camera do the rest.
That same idea works really well at live events with our Glambot. When guests feel comfortable, prepared, (and perhaps get a little guidance from our team), the results speak for themselves.
Bringing This Energy to Vancouver Events
Whether it’s a fundraiser, gala, or corporate event, the goal is the same: create moments guests enjoy watching again and sharing.
That’s the approach we take when bringing Glambot experience to events in Vancouver — focused on flow, confidence, and helping each guest find a move that feels natural to them.

2026 Golden Globes Glambot Moments | Inspiration for Vancouver Events
The 2026 Golden Globes delivered some unforgettable Glambot moments. These are the ones we couldn’t stop watching, and the kinds of choices we see work just as well at standout events in Vancouver.
The 2026 Golden Globes delivered some unforgettable Glambot moments. These are the ones we couldn’t stop watching, and the kinds of choices we see work just as well at standout events in Vancouver.
Jennifer Lopez
Poised
The Moment
JLO’s Glambot moment was all composure. Minimal movement and immediate presence.
This clip circulated widely because it felt unmistakably confident from the first frame. No excess or hesitation.
Why This Works
Once the “3, 2, 1, Action!” cue hits, she commits. The first move is clear, and everything that follows feels intentional. The turn lands cleanly because the camera has something precise to follow.
Lisa (BLACKPINK)
Two Shots. Both Land.
The Moment
Lisa gave us two Glambot moments at the Golden Globes, and both became the kind of clip you rewatch.
The first is a controlled hair toss. The second is a half turn driven by posture and wardrobe. Neither relies on big motion but they’re extremely effective.
With her global reach through BLACKPINK and the fashion world, her red-carpet appearances are closely watched — which made these details stand out even more.
Why This Works (From the Operator’s POV)
The hair toss works because of setup. She starts with a section of hair already forward, then guides it back over her shoulder in one smooth motion. No head whip. Just enough movement to create volume that works beautifully in slow motion.
In the second shot, the movement starts from the hips. Her feet stay planted. The dress carries part of the turn. She lifts her chin slightly, finds the lens, and stays connected as the camera moves.
From behind the scenes, this is exactly what you hope for. One idea. Clean execution.
Colman Domingo
A Clean 180
The Moment
Colman Domingo’s Glambot clip stood out immediately for its personality. You can tell he’s enjoying the moment.
With strong awards-season visibility and his standout work on Euphoria, this felt completely on-brand.
Why This Works
He commits to a full 180-degree turn — one of the harder moves to pull off cleanly. Mid-spin, he finds the camera and lands the moment exactly where it needs to be.
Full commitment gives the camera something clean to follow.
We’ve seen this many times at events: when someone commits fully to a move, the shot holds together beautifully.
Walton Goggins
An Accessory-Led Moment
The Moment
Walton Goggins built his entire Glambot moment around one smooth use of his sunglasses.
There’s a calm confidence here that feels very White Lotus in spirit — controlled, intentional, and slightly mischievous.
Why This Works
Accessories are incredibly useful on the Glambot red carpet. Here, one clean gesture creates timing, shape, and a clear visual beat. Nothing else is needed.
We see this land all the time at events when guests feel unsure what to do. One prop. One move. Done.
Olandriai Carthen
Subtlety That Carries
The Moment
This was a quieter Glambot moment, and it worked beautifully. A slight lift of the chin. Minimal movement. Strong presence.
Even with a form-fitting look and less fabric movement to work with, the clip held its own.
Why This Works
The movement is small but deliberate. Posture and eye line do most of the work, and the camera captures the confidence immediately.
We see this often at events: subtle movement can carry an entire clip when posture and eye line are doing the work.
Red Carpet Direction, Vancouver Roots
Anyone who’s watched a few Glambot clips knows the role Cole Walliser, originally from Vancouver, BC, plays in shaping these moments.
In the few seconds he has with each guest, he reads the room quickly, keeps things light, and gives just enough direction to bring out something natural. When a quick retake is needed, he makes the call and moves on.
That clarity and ease are why these moments feel so relaxed on screen. We see the same thing at live events. When direction is clear and the energy stays fun, people settle in and the clip takes care of itself.
Why It Looks Effortless
By the time guests step in front of the camera, the hard work is already done. The setup is dialed in , the lighting is consistent, and the crew is in sync. That preparation keeps the experience flowing and lets the moment speak for itself.
Guests feel that difference immediately.
Bringing That Same Energy to Your Event
Whether it’s a fundraiser, gala, or corporate event, the goal is the same: create moments guests actually enjoy watching back and sharing.
That’s the approach we take when bringing the Glambot experience to events in Vancouver — focused on preparation, flow, and making the final result feel effortless for everyone involved.

Planning Event Experiences When Budgets are Tight
Budgets may be tighter, but expectations for event experiences haven’t changed. Here’s how planners can make smart, intentional choices that still deliver memorable moments.
If you’re planning events in Vancouver, budget pressure is already part of the process.
What’s changed in 2026 is the level of scrutiny that comes with planning. Experience decisions are being examined more closely, often later in planning, and with more stakeholders involved.
Planning now frequently includes explaining why certain choices exist and how they contribute to the overall event.
Where experience decisions tend to stall
Early in planning, experience ideas usually feel intuitive.
A moment that brings people together.
Something interactive.
An experience that lifts the room.
As we move forward in planning, timelines compress and budgets get revisited. Questions start to surface around impact, value, and priority.
What does this contribute to the event?
How does it support the overall experience?
Which moments deserve protection if something needs to change?
These questions become harder to answer when the role of an experience hasn’t been clearly articulated earlier in the process.
A shift that brings clarity
Across fundraisers, galas, and corporate events, plans tend to hold up better when one experience is designed to support several goals at once.
Rather than spreading effort across multiple smaller elements, planners identify a single moment that can:
anchor guest experience
support visibility in a natural way
generate content that lives beyond the room
help shape the flow or energy of the event
When that moment is clearly defined, other decisions become easier to navigate. The plan feels more focused. Tradeoffs are clearer. Late-stage changes are easier to manage.
A familiar situation
Consider a gala or corporate event with multiple stakeholders, limited time, and high expectations.
Instead of adding several touchpoints for visibility or engagement, the plan centres on one shared experience early in the evening. It becomes the moment guests gather around, talk about, photograph, and reference afterwards.
The budget remains fixed, while focus becomes more important.
Why this matters right now
Pressure changes how decisions are made. Even straightforward choices feel heavier when timelines tighten and expectations stack up.
Having a simple way to think through experience decisions helps planners stay grounded when things move quickly. Writing these decisions down early creates alignment and makes later conversations easier.
The toolkit we created
We created the Event Engagement Planning Toolkit to help planners work through experience decisions with more intention.
The toolkit is designed to help you:
clarify what experiences need to accomplish
identify which moments carry the most responsibility
use timing and placement to increase impact
explain and defend experience decisions when scrutiny appears
You can use it early to shape the plan. And return to it mid-stream to pressure-test what’s already been decided.
Get the full toolkit
If you’re navigating tighter budgets and higher expectations, the full toolkit expands on these ideas and includes a one-page decision cheat sheet you can reference during planning.

Many planners also share it internally to align conversations across teams.
Clearer decisions earlier tend to make everything else easier.
