To manage any traveling exhibit you will need at least a dozen different database and project management programs, a mainframe to run it and a staff of at least 32.  Didn't anyone warn you about doing this?

Seriously, you really want to do this?

OK enough joking around (yeah, ha....) what aspects of management are you talking about: design, fabrication, traveling schedules?

If you are adept at Excel there shouldn't be any problem doing them all on your own custom sheets.  And if you are a real wizard you can make them all talk to each other.  The folks who can do this are from some other universe but I have met a few.   They say there are different kinds of intelligences and I think Excel masters are one particular unit.

And I am sorry I don't have any of my old ones to share.  They were generally pretty straight forward and not hard to create.
