An amazing tool for institutions

• CMS – easy to use content management system to easily share
exciting content with guests
• Institution information – location, hours of operation, event calendar,
social links, floor plans, membership/donation, etc.
• Guest analytics – your guests are more than an age, race, and
gender; discover their true interests and passions
• Geo-analytics – what exhibits are most popular, when, and with what
demographic group
• Popular content – discover what guests really find interesting and
engaging and who they are sharing it with
• Guest surveys – get real-time feedback from guests in your facility
