6. Two numbers are displayed in each VIP card type section. The first number shows your remaining designation slots and the second number is your total contingent. Designations can be added until the first number is 0.

7. Selecting one of the VIP card types will expand the section revealing the access times for each card and the buttons to designate your VIP guests for the corresponding card type.
To designate a new First Choice VIP guest, select the &bdquo;Add new&ldquo; button in the First Choice section.

8. Fill out all fields and click Add. Once added, your designation is automatically saved in our system. Please ensure that a valid and personal email address of your VIP guest is provided. Due to data protection laws you are not allowed to use your own email address as a placeholder to register your VIP guests but you are requested to list your designated guest&lsquo;s email.&nbsp;
It is important to use their personal email, as this email will be used when sending their invitation, and as their login to access their Digital VIP Card.&nbsp;

9. The designation will now be listed in the First Choice section. Note that one designation slot will be deducted from your contingent. Repeat steps 7 to 8 to designate additional VIPs in the respective VIP card type section. To remove a designation, select the delete icon. The cancelled designation will be credited to the &ldquo;Open&rdquo; designation.

10. After the designation deadline, the designation status updates automatically from &ldquo;Saved&rdquo; to &ldquo;Invited&rdquo;. This indicates that your VIP guest will shortly receive the invitation email in which your VIP guest is asked to confirm their attendance with instructions on how to access their Digital VIP Card in the official Art Basel App. Once the status has changed, you will not be able to cancel designations as the VIP guest is now informed about the invitation.

Please note: you will still be able to designate guests after the first designation deadline up until the start of the fair. Guests designated after this deadline,&nbsp;will receive their invitation on a rolling basis leading up to the show.&nbsp;
 All invitations (confirmed and unconfirmed by VIP) will be available digitally within the Art Basel app.

11. Select from previous designations.
To facilitate your designation process, you can look up past designations and select multiple VIP guests to be designated.
