How many beacons do you need?

A place people visit year-round, or an event with a start and an end?

A venueMuseum, gallery, trail, main street — open all yearAn eventFestival, fair, short activation — days, not months

How many installations, exhibits or points of interest?

Estimated number of installations or exhibits

Of those, how many would sit within a few metres of a neighbouring installation?

We suggest grouping up to 4 of them onto one beacon, so visitors meet them as one stop — it's a guideline, not a limit. Leave at 0 if every piece gets its own.
