Field Guide

How to work the year.

01

Plan in pairs.

Design weeks travel in clusters — NYCxDESIGN wraps ICFF and WantedDesign into one trip; Milan stretches Salone, Fuorisalone, and the Rho satellites across nine days. Budget the corridor, not the show.

02

Pick your pass.

Trade-only shows (NeoCon, BDNY, KBIS) gate the floor with a credential check; consumer-facing markets (Maison&Objet, Heimtextil) sell day passes. Apply early — same-week trade approvals are a coin flip.

03

Work the rooms, not the booths.

The deals happen at the showroom dinners, the rooftop after-parties, and the off-floor previews — not at the 10×10. Calendar the social side first, then fit the floor walk around it.
