Start with the confirmed framework

The organiser lists the public fair dates and venue, while detailed opening hours for the next edition are still to be published. Build the initial plan around confirmed information and update it when access windows are released.

Separate collecting, advisory and brand objectives

A collector may prioritise works and gallery relationships; an advisor may need artist research and client appointments; a brand may focus on partnerships or hosting. Each objective requires a different schedule.

Prepare gallery meetings

Send interests, artists, media, scale and budget context in advance where appropriate. Ask for condition, provenance and availability information separately from a social invitation.

Plan the wider Hong Kong week

Institutional exhibitions, gallery openings and private events expand the calendar beyond the convention centre. Group commitments by location and protect time for fair follow-up.

Respect access and group rules

Badges, invitations and group visits follow organiser conditions. Art Basel notes that groups of eight or more must register in advance; current details should be checked before travel.

How Access supports attendance

Access by ICON IMAGE can coordinate schedules, approved guest arrangements, gallery meetings and executive hosting around confirmed access. Purchases and artwork due diligence remain separate specialist matters.
