Curve New York 2026 staffing

Curve New York staffing puts trained trade show models, brand ambassadors and lead-capture talent on your stand at Curve New York - billed as the leading intimate apparel and swimwear trade show in North America, held August 2–4, 2026 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center's River Pavilion. Show hours run 9 a.m.–6 p.m. Sunday and Monday and 9 a.m.–3 p.m. Tuesday, with VIP buyers in from 8:30 a.m. On a presentation-led floor, that talent shows your collection on-brand, supports fittings and buyer appointments, and captures order and follow-up intent before the buyer moves to the next brand. TSM Agency is a woman-owned national event staffing and talent agency, founded in 2005, that recruits, vets, briefs and manages Curve talent locally in New York - trained on your line before the doors open and run through one dedicated account executive - so exhibitors get a polished, productive booth without flying in or housing a crew.

Why it matters

Staffing priorities for Curve New York 2026

Curve New York is a presentation-led market where intimates and swim buyers judge a collection on fit, fabric and how confidently a brand presents it. The buyers walking the River Pavilion - boutique and specialty owners, department and chain buyers, and e-commerce merchandisers - come with seasonal budgets and a short list, and they decide quickly whether your booth communicates the line and its price story well enough to write. That's the challenge: an intimates booth needs talent polished and comfortable enough to present the product appropriately, support fittings, and keep buyer conversations moving across a compact two-and-a-half-day floor. A buyer who can't get a confident, on-brand conversation moves to the next brand. The four roles below each address a different piece of catching that buyer and converting the visit into an order.

Staffing brief

Curve New York 2026 staffing brief

Curve New York 2026 staffing should start with the specifics of the event record, not a generic trade show staffing checklist. Event type: Intimate apparel and swimwear trade show. Primary industry: Intimate apparel and swimwear. Related categories: Lingerie & intimates, Swimwear, Loungewear & sleepwear, Shapewear & hosiery. Audience to qualify: Retail buyers in intimates and swim - boutique and specialty-store owners, department-store and chain buyers, e-commerce retailers, and merchandisers sourcing lingerie, swimwear, loungewear, shapewear and hosiery from global brands. Local planning context: Jacob K. Javits Convention Center (River Pavilion) | New York, NY | 429 11th Ave. Event positioning: Curve New York bills itself as the leading trade show for intimate apparel and swimwear in North America, presenting 120-plus curated lingerie and swim brands with a runway and brand activations in the Javits Center's River Pavilion. Booth responsibilities: Present the collection on-brand, greet and qualify intimates and swim buyers as they move through your booth, communicate wholesale pricing, minimums and delivery dates, support fittings and buyer appointments, and scan and tag leads from the boutiques, department stores and e-commerce buyers sourcing at Curve New York. That mix determines whether TSM recommends trade show models, promotional models, brand ambassadors, lead capture staff, demo support, bilingual talent, a team lead, or a lighter front-of-booth crew.

Front of the booth

Trade show models for Curve New York 2026

Curve New York trade show models work the front of your booth so no intimates or swim buyer passes your line unengaged. Because they're sourced in New York, you skip the airfare, hotels and per-diems an out-of-town crew adds during a Manhattan show week. The outcome: more qualified buyers stop at your booth, and your team spends its time writing orders instead of flagging down traffic.

Traffic & attention

Promotional models for Curve New York 2026

Curve New York promotional models pull buyers into your space and keep your collection in front of them. Each is briefed on your collection, price points and the one action you want - a line sheet scanned, an appointment booked, a written order. The outcome: higher booth traffic from the surrounding floor, and more of it captured rather than walking on.

Brand & message

Brand ambassadors for Curve New York 2026

Curve New York brand ambassadors represent your label to a buyer audience that decides on presentation and confidence. Across a curated intimates and swim floor, our Curve brand ambassadors are trained on your collection, story and price story so they embody the label consistently - walking buyers through the line, answering fit, fabric and margin questions, and reinforcing why your brand belongs in their assortment. For exhibitors returning across Curve's seasonal editions, the same ambassadors coming back build familiarity with your collection and your repeat buyers. The goal they serve: a consistent, on-brand presence that turns first-time boutique and department-store buyers into reorder accounts.

The operational team

Full booth staffing for Curve New York 2026

As your Curve New York event staffing partner we field the whole booth team behind the front line. That includes product demonstrators and fit-aware hosts who present your collection and support buyer fittings; lead-retrieval specialists trained on Cvent, Compusystems, Validar, Klik and Bartizan so every buyer is scanned, qualified and captured with order and follow-up intent in real time; presenters and hosts to keep buyer appointments moving; bilingual talent for the global buyers Curve draws; and a team lead to run check-in, breaks and performance across all three days. Our talent works through show close each day - never an early walk-off - so your booth keeps writing orders to the final hour, not winding down early. One dedicated account executive scopes the mix to your booth size and appointment schedule and coordinates the booking, so your stand keeps producing for the boutiques, department stores and e-commerce buyers sourcing at Curve New York.
