Off-site events and programs absolutely do count--it counts as marketing (exposure), and outreach, and face time.  You could assign different significance to off-site contacts, but I would still count it.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Museum events



Hello,

The museum I work at is entering its second year.  Now, we are working on programming for next year to ensure that we are even more successful than the first.  In addition to trying to bring in school groups we are wanting to have more events at the museum.  Last year we had about 3 with decent turnout.  This year we are trying to expand it to 6.  I would like to try for several other events in addition to this.  One of the concerns is, having one or two off premise.  The issue being, if we don't have it elsewhere then it doesn't "count" since people aren't coming through our doors for the event.  So I have a few questions.  How does your museum handle things?  Do you have all your events on site or do you have one or two elsewhere?  What kinds of events and how many do you have?  If you could, could you please state the name of your organization if you answer.  Any help is appreciated, thanks.
