Tech Basel is Miami's premier technology event series during Art Basel week, bringing together founders, investors, artists, and innovators at the intersection of art and technology.

What is Tech Basel?
Tech Basel represents the convergence of two worlds: the cutting-edge innovation of Silicon Valley and the creative expression of the global art scene. During Art Basel Miami Beach week (December 2-7, 2025), Miami transforms into a hub where technology founders, venture capitalists, NFT artists, Web3 builders, and AI innovators gather to explore the future of creative technology.
What started as a handful of tech-focused side events has evolved into a comprehensive ecosystem of conferences, exhibitions, networking dinners, pitch competitions, and exclusive parties. Tech Basel is not a single event but rather a movement—a week-long celebration of innovation that happens in parallel with Art Basel's world-renowned art fair.
Curated by Ja'dan Johnson, one of Miami's most prominent tech event organizers with 10 years of Art Basel experience, Tech Basel has become the trusted source for discovering and navigating tech events during Miami Art Week.

Scope Art Fair
Scope Art is my absolute favorite art show during Miami Art Week. Located on Ocean Drive, Scope has been a cornerstone of the satellite fair scene for over two decades, consistently showcasing emerging and mid-career artists in an accessible, energetic environment. What sets Scope apart is its commitment to innovation and its willingness to embrace new mediums, including digital art, NFTs, and technology-driven installations.
The atmosphere at Scope is electric—less stuffy than the main Art Basel fair, more experimental, and genuinely fun. You'll find a mix of established galleries and emerging spaces, all presenting work that pushes boundaries. The beachfront location adds to the experience, with the fair's tents creating an intimate yet expansive viewing environment.
For tech enthusiasts, Scope consistently features some of the most interesting digital art and new media work of the week.

The venue's programming celebrates diversity, creativity, and community, featuring DJs and performers who represent Miami's rich cultural tapestry.

The venue attracts a creative, forward-thinking crowd that includes artists, designers, technologists, and entrepreneurs who value authenticity and community. It's the kind of place where genuine connections are made and where you'll discover the Miami that locals actually love.
Why Tech Basel Matters
Tech Basel has become essential because it recognizes a fundamental truth: the future of technology and the future of art are inseparable. NFTs have proven that digital art can have value and provenance. AI is transforming how we create and experience art. Blockchain is revolutionizing how we think about ownership and authenticity. Virtual and augmented reality are creating entirely new mediums for artistic expression.
During Art Basel week, these conversations move from abstract theory to concrete reality. You can see AI-generated art hanging in galleries, experience VR installations that transport you to new worlds, meet the founders building the infrastructure for the metaverse, and connect with the investors funding the next generation of creative technology companies.
But Tech Basel is about more than just technology—it's about community. It's about bringing together people who believe that technology can make art more accessible, more democratic, and more innovative. It's about founders who are building companies at the intersection of creativity and code. It's about investors who understand that the next big platform might come from an artist's studio rather than a traditional tech hub.
Planning Your Tech Basel Week
With so much happening during Tech Basel week, planning is essential. Start by browsing our comprehensive calendar to identify events that align with your goals. Are you fundraising? Focus on investor mixers and pitch competitions. Looking to hire? Attend founder brunches and networking dinners. Interested in the latest technology trends? Prioritize conferences and panel discussions.
Don't try to do everything. The most successful Tech Basel attendees are strategic about their time, selecting a mix of large networking events, intimate dinners, and cultural experiences. Leave room for serendipity—some of the best connections happen at unexpected moments, whether it's a chance encounter at an art fair or a conversation that starts at a late-night party.
Remember that Tech Basel is a marathon, not a sprint. The week runs from December 2-7, with events starting as early as 8 AM and running past midnight. Pace yourself, stay hydrated, and build in time for rest. The relationships you build during Tech Basel week can last a lifetime, but only if you're present and energized enough to make genuine connections.
