General Contact Details
The office is located at 300 Heritage Plaza, New York, NY. Write to newyork@oimap.example or call +1 212 000 0000.
The switchboard is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., New York time. Outside these hours, leave a voice message; it will be handled on the next working day.



Points of contact
The Director of the office handles institutional relations. An adviser follows the Member States, a programme officer deals with the market and a protection officer liaises with the authorities.
The members' area directory gives the name of each person. For any general enquiry, write to the office's address.
The time difference
The time difference with Paris is five to six hours depending on the time of year. Exchanges with headquarters are therefore concentrated in the late morning in New York.
For a call involving several offices, propose a time slot that suits both Singapore and Geneva. The office can help you find one.
Market professionals
Auction houses and galleries wishing to present their practices to the Organization may request an appointment. The office generally receives them within two weeks (indicative).
It provides them with documentation on the Desk's services and informs them of the next seminars organized in the region.
