Good to know

Your questions, answered.

For attendees
How do I stay connected during the event?
Join our event WhatsApp group. We'll share updates there before and during the event, and it's an easy way to meet other attendees, find people to walk the stores with on Friday, or swap coffee recommendations.
What do I wear?
Wednesday Night: Dress for a Night Out in New York at Jac's on Bond
Use our kickoff event as your excuse to wear the thing you've been saving for a night out in New York. A killer dress, denim with something dramatic, statement jewelry, an interesting shoe. Whatever feels festive and like you goes.

Thursday: Programming at Ludlow House followed by Dinner at ShopMy Headquarters
We'll be in one location all day, sitting, learning, and mingling, so wear something comfortable that you'll feel good being photographed in. At 6:30pm, we'll head to ShopMy for rooftop drinks and dinner. The vibe there is very casual, so there's no need to dress up beyond what you're wearing during the day.

If you want to change between the events, you can either flex those day-to-night dressing muscles you've honed over the years and wear an outfit that can take you from the day straight into the evening, head back to your hotel for an outfit change, or swap looks in the bathroom at our venue. All works, and please don't feel like you need to change.

Friday: Shop the City with Our Retail Partners & The Met
We'll be walking quite a bit while we shop the city, meet our retail partners, and then make our way to The Met for a private tour. Think comfortable, polished, and ready for an active day in New York. Comfortable shoes are non-negotiable.

New York in early October tends to run cool, especially in the mornings and evenings, so bring a layer and check the forecast before you pack.
What should we plan for dinner on Wednesday?
We recommend booking a reservation for dinner after the cocktail party at Jac's on Bond in NoHo. The event wraps up at 7pm, so grab one after that. Here's a list of some of our favorites.
How far apart are the venues?
Each day is centered around a different area of Manhattan. The welcome event is at Jac's on Bond, our main programming day is at Ludlow House on the Lower East Side, with the ShopMy dinner afterward at 22nd Street and Park Ave South, and the final day is on the Upper East Side around the Met and nearby retailers.

Jac's on Bond and Ludlow House are very close to each other, and the other locations are generally around 15–30 minutes apart, depending on traffic. The subway is simple to use with maps on your phone, and Uber and Lyft are easy to get on any street corner.

To make it easy, here are directions from Ludlow House to ShopMy for Thursday, and our map of Friday's retail stops on Madison Ave, with our favorite spots for coffee or a bite along the way.
Can I still add the Met tour?
Yes, until Friday, October 2. It's a $115 add-on, and you can add it here. If you're joining, meet us on the Met steps at 12:15pm.
About the event
When and where?
October 7–9, 2026 in New York City.

Here's how the days run. Wednesday opens with a welcome reception from 5:00 to 7:00pm. Thursday is a full day of programming at Ludlow House from 9:30am to 5:00pm, followed by dinner at ShopMy's headquarters at 6:30pm. Friday is retailer visits from 10:00am to 12:00pm, and the optional Met tour runs 12:30 to 2:00pm.

We wrap by 2:00pm on Friday, or noon if you skip the Met tour, so you can book an evening flight home either way.
What's the investment?
$595 for three days. The optional Met experience is $115 and can be purchased separately.
What's included?
Three days of programming, curated NYC experiences, brand visits, the ShopMy dinner, and access to the full Next Era community. The Met experience is the only additional cost. Travel and lodging are separate.
How do I attend?
Next Era is invitation-only and limited to 50 personal stylists, and we're officially sold out! Still interested? Fill out the form above to join the waitlist in case someone can't make it.
Who's behind this?
Two companies that work with stylists every day: Nove, the software platform built for styling businesses, and The Styling Consultancy, which helps stylists build sustainable ones.
Do I need to use Nove or work with The Styling Consultancy?
Next Era is open to personal stylists at every stage of their business, regardless of the tools or advisors they currently use. Nove and The Styling Consultancy created this event to bring the people shaping the future of personal styling into the same room.
