THE ART BUSINESS CONFERENCE
Art Market Minds is a leading international events platform dedicated to the art world, providing invaluable opportunities for professionals to connect, learn, and evolve. Founded in 2014, the organization is best known for its flagship event, The Art Business Conference, a one-day gathering held in key global art hubs such as London, New York, and Paris, alongside half-day conferences at major events like TEFAF Maastricht, Art Dubai, and Cape Town. The conferences welcome art market professionals, museum curators, and collectors from around the globe, including the US, UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.
The conference experience is structured to provide attendees with a 360-degree view of the evolving art market, featuring a mix of informative plenary sessions, panel discussions, and Q&A sessions led by influential thought leaders. These sessions cover a wide array of crucial topics, from the latest trends in the art trade to practical insights on managing and growing art businesses and collections. Additionally, the conferences are designed to foster networking, with opportunities to engage with peers during breakfast, lunch, and refreshment breaks.
Key topics addressed at the conferences include shipping, insurance, conservation, legislation, and online technology, offering professionals best practices and tools to refine their operations. The conferences not only serve as a vital knowledge exchange platform but also act as an arena for introducing new products, services, and innovative ideas to the industry.
