Eye-fi is a memory card with built-in Wifi.  You shoot a photo, its uploaded immediately to a photo account, like Flickr.com

At my university we hold various donor and alumni events and awards ceremonies and often have sponsors who help cover the entertainment and audio/visual costs.  Add a line to the budget to either hire a separate photographer or get this technology to your existing one.

Most events involve a computer with powerpoint or some other form of audio/visual.   Obviously, you will need to make sure that Wi-fi is available, which should be a non-issue for on campus events.

Have the photos uploaded to your flickr account and set up a slide show on the fly.  The guests will be blown away and who knows maybe event raise some extra support. If you have a developed photo account this is event better as you will have fans following your photo feed, garnering even more exposure.

Tip 1: make sure you get sponsor logos in a few shots, they will be all over it and not mind the extra cost for the next event.

Tip 2: promote the photo account at the event using moo cards with a direct link and even prior to the event via email

Tip 3: have a laptop on-hand and you can delete unwanted shots and organize your slide show right on the website in minutes
