Begin with a data-driven review, week by week, to identify which pieces drew attention near Biscayne; capture inquiries from american curators; map how presentation formats performed; set a target for returns on each display.

The first pass yields a clear set of metrics: visitors count, dwell time, questions asked; this data tells what to present, what to reconfigure, what to remove. Use a satellite dashboard that synchronizes with booth staff to log remarks from curators, collectors, press; highlight pieces that achieved the strongest momentum; identify potential american buyers.

During the Halloween window, the exhibitions delivered a dynamic shift; the magazinered tone of coverage; chocó accents in lighting created a strong moment for dialogue around scale; exhibitors updated narratives to present more experimental pieces; exhibiting strategies resonate with chic american collectors.

Looking ahead, publish a concise recap within days; emphasize returns against baseline; announces a pilot satellite program to extend the conversation; identify pieces that delivered momentum; propose a focused presentation plan that aligns with the first-week results.
