COTERIE New York runs September 9\u201311, 2026, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, co-located with MAGIC New York under Informa Markets. Hours are 9AM\u20137PM Wednesday and Thursday and 9AM\u20132PM Friday. This is a wholesale order-writing show, not a consumer show, so staffing is judged on whether buyers stop, sit, and open a linesheet, not on foot traffic. Book by mid-August; September in New York is the most compressed booking window of the year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>Table of Contents<\/h2><nav><ul><li><a href=\"#is-magic-new-york-the-same-show-as-coterie\">Is MAGIC New York the Same Show as COTERIE?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#what-makes-staffing-a-wholesale-show-different-from-a-consumer-trade-show\">What Makes Staffing a Wholesale Show Different From a Consumer Trade Show?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#how-many-booth-models-do-you-need-for-a-three-day-order-writing-show\">How Many Booth Models Do You Need for a Three-Day Order-Writing Show?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#booth-model-fit-model-or-showroom-model-which-do-you-need-at-coterie\">Booth Model, Fit Model, or Showroom Model \u2014 Which Do You Need at COTERIE?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#how-do-you-brief-booth-staff-for-a-buyer-facing-stand\">How Do You Brief Booth Staff for a Buyer-Facing Stand?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#what-does-booking-through-an-agency-cost-compared-with-booking-directly\">What Does Booking Through an Agency Cost Compared With Booking Directly?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#when-should-you-book-staff-for-a-september-show-in-new-york\">When Should You Book Staff for a September Show in New York?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#what-should-you-confirm-before-show-week\">What Should You Confirm Before Show Week?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#the-bottom-line-on-staffing-your-coterie-new-york-stand\">The Five Decisions That Keep a COTERIE Stand Staffed<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#staff-your-javits-stand-without-agency-commission\">Staff Your Javits Stand Without Agency Commission<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/zodel.com\/spotlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Anna-S-NYC-Zodel-8.jpg\" alt=\"Anna S.

A booth at COTERIE is not a booth at a consumer expo. Buyers arrive with appointments, limited hours, and a list of brands they have already decided to see.

Booth staff are judged on whether a buyer stops long enough to sit down with a linesheet, which requires vocabulary and composure rather than volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A consumer expo rewards throughput. Hand out enough samples, scan enough badges, and the day is a success by the numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wholesale show inverts that. Fifteen good conversations beat two hundred hellos, because a single boutique writing a season is worth more than a week of lead scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This changes what &#8220;good&#8221; looks like on your stand. A booth model at COTERIE is not there to draw a crowd. They are there to keep your principal free for appointments while still making sure that a buyer walking past at 4PM does not walk past unacknowledged.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3a88641f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What the role actually requires at a wholesale stand:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Recognizing a buyer badge and knowing the difference between a buyer, press, and a fellow exhibitor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Being able to say what the collection is, what the minimums are, and when delivery lands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handing off cleanly to the principal when the conversation turns to terms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That last one is where most bookings go wrong.

Jobs can be posted in as little as five minutes, and most roles are filled within 24 hours. Every model account is identity-verified at registration, and funds are held in escrow until the job is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Your samples are already booked on a truck.
