Use the confirmed dates and district
The organiser identifies the dates, M7 and the Doha Design District. Detailed access hours, programmes and invitation conditions should be rechecked as the edition approaches.
Understand the fair’s positioning
Art Basel describes a concisely curated gallery presentation connected to Qatar’s cultural landscape and the wider MENA arts ecosystem. Professional preparation should reflect this regional context rather than copy a Basel or Miami schedule.
Define the meeting objective
Collectors, galleries, institutions, media and brands need different outcomes. Prepare a short list of people, sectors and decisions, then reserve time for introductions and follow-up.
Coordinate the wider cultural calendar
Museum visits, gallery programmes and hosted events can be relevant, but only confirmed invitations belong in the operating schedule. Verify venues, hosts and transport time across Doha.
Prepare guest and protocol details
Record names as shown on identification, invitation ownership, accessibility needs, language preferences and transport contacts. Keep purchase discussions separate from hospitality planning.
How Access supports participation
Access by ICON IMAGE can coordinate confirmed access, executive schedules, professional introductions and private hosting around the fair, subject to organiser and host approval.
