VAMONDE
VAMONDE has temporarily closed their offices during the COVID -19 pandemic. To assist those who are or are thinking about working with VAMONDE, here is a statement from them:
COVID-19 shutdowns have impacted our business at VAMONDE, as they have many of our partners, peers and competitors during COVID-19. As a result, starting June 1st, we will be moving to a reduced operations model. This is how the change will impact you:
- If you have already signed up for the platform, you can continue to access the platform, create content and use the other tools for free. If you have questions or requests, please email kartik@vamonde.com
For museums interested in using VAMONDE, you will have two options:
- You can sign up for the platform after June 1st, but there will be a fee of $100/month to cover account servicing and allow us to maintain access to the platform.
- You can wait until October, when we will most likely resume normal operations and can be a part of your museum association program then.
