Live Event Sketching for The Female Quotient x Deloitte in Toronto
At The Female Quotient’s Leaders in Cyber event with Deloitte in Toronto, the goal was to create an experience that felt both elevated and on-brand for a cybersecurity audience — while keeping guests engaged throughout the evening.
Drawing Booth was brought in to deliver both custom illustrated portraits for honorees and a live sketching experience for attendees.
🎯 The Challenge
This wasn’t a typical event activation.
The experience needed to:
- Reflect a cybersecurity / tech-forward aesthetic
- Honor high-level leaders with polished, professional portraits
- Engage guests in a cocktail-style, networking environment
- Feel aligned with both The Female Quotient’s programming and Deloitte’s brand standards
💡 The Approach
🎨 Custom Portraits for Leaders in Cyber
Ahead of the event, Drawing Booth created illustrated portraits of the honorees, designed for use across digital platforms and on-site display.
At the event, these portraits were:
- Printed and framed throughout the venue
- Integrated into the overall visual identity of the space
- Used to reinforce the significance of the honorees
🧍♀️ Live Sketching Experience
During the event, two artists:
- Mingled naturally with guests
- Created portraits in just a few minutes
- Delivered both digital files and printed keepsakes
This allowed for:
- Continuous engagement without disrupting conversations
- A seamless fit within a networking-driven environment
🧠 Custom Cyber-Themed Branding
To align with the cybersecurity theme, Drawing Booth developed a custom digital background concept for the portraits.
This ensured:
- Visual consistency across honoree portraits and guest sketches
- A cohesive, tech-forward aesthetic
- A branded takeaway that felt intentional, not generic
✨ The Result
The experience successfully bridged:
- Recognition (honoring leaders)
- Engagement (live guest interaction)
- Brand storytelling (cyber-themed visual identity)
Guests left with:
- A personalized portrait
- A shareable digital asset
- A deeper connection to the event
🎯 Why It Works for Cybersecurity & AI Events
Events in cybersecurity and AI often require experiences that feel:
- Intelligent
- Design-conscious
- Subtle, not gimmicky
Live sketching offers:
- A human, interactive moment within a technical environment
- A branded takeaway that feels elevated
- A format that integrates naturally into networking-heavy events
