Understand the fair’s specific field
Design Miami centres on collectible furniture, lighting and objects rather than functioning as a general interiors show. Define the designers, periods, materials or institutional relationships relevant to the visit.
Read the current programme before accepting invitations
Gallery presentations, Curio projects, talks, commissions and partner events serve different purposes. Check the official edition page for the confirmed venue, dates, preview conditions and public hours.
Prepare evidence questions
For an object under discussion, ask about authorship, edition, production, provenance, condition and restoration. A professional meeting can identify the next evidence needed without turning the fair floor into a rushed purchase decision.
Coordinate with the wider Miami week
Art Basel Miami Beach and many independent programmes run nearby but have separate access. Group appointments by venue and preserve travel time.
Follow up with precision
Record the object or project, people present, documents promised and next decision. A short, specific follow-up is more useful than collecting a large number of contacts.
