In the Northeast we are still a little bit behind some of the other areas in the country in terms of opening up our doors to the general public.


One way our children's museum is trying to bring in revenue despite that is the selling of virtual live events and educational programs. I was wondering if anyone else has sold these in Altru and what their processes were.


In our case we were planning to just build a scheduled program event to have families register through webforms. From there we would let them know on the confirmation letter that they will recieve a link to the live event at their email address an hour before the event. We would then pull a roster and send them the link to zoom, google classroom, etc.


Is this along the lines of how other museums have handled this. Have any looked into any other systems that might be able to handle this process and cut out any additional steps. Any ideas are appreciated.


Thank you!

    I am trying to set up the same thing but am not sure where to go once I have to create program events. We provide a physical “kit” that can be picked up prior to their zoom tour but we need to limit the capacity of kits by month since we have to put these together and purchase the materials for them. Am I better off having capacity on a daily basis? What is the best way you have set this up for your children's museum?
