自香港國際藝術展 (ART HK) 於2007年推出以來到2012年，任天晉領導展會走過豐盛圓滿的五年。香港國際藝術展的成功，讓香港成為現代及當代藝術市場的亞洲樞扭，影響力無遠弗屆。2012至2014年，在巴塞爾藝術展 (Art Basel) 母公司瑞士MCH集團收購香港國際藝術展 (ART HK) 後，任天晉獲委任為展會之亞洲總監，同時為執行董事會的四名成員之一。在帶領巴塞爾藝術展掀開亞洲新一頁的同時，亦透過牽引區內各項文化活動來提昇展會於亞洲的社會地位，更為亞太地區藝廊、收藏家及藝術社區打開國際之門，全面投入展會之環球發展。在任天晉的領導下，2013年首展以及2014年第二届展會均獲得空前成功。2018年，任天晉宣布推出TAIPEI DANGDAI，第一屆藝術博覽會將於2019年1月舉行。任天晉同時擔任協辦和創辦博覽會總監。

其熱誠、成就和貢獻獲得業界與國際媒體的一致推崇——《ART + AUCTION》曾命任天晉為「當代藝術十五大風雲人物」；2010年、2012年獲《ART REVIEW》評選為「國際藝壇百大最具影響力人物」；2011年法國殿堂級藝文刊物《Le Journal des Arts》「藝術界最具影響力百大人物」；2013年，世界經濟論壇 (World Economic Forum) 更推選任天晉為全球青年領袖，國際地位超然。2017年，任天晉著作《Uncharted Territory: Culture & Commerce in Hong Kong’s Art World》由英國企鵝出版推出。
