T8C & NYC TECH WEEK SERIES · JUNE 2026NYC Tech Week 2026
Three Conversations. One Ecosystem
Welcome to Triple Eight Creative's NYC Tech Week Hub.
This week, we're exploring how beauty, hospitality, technology, and customer experience are shaping the future of how we live, work, travel, and connect.
Whether you're joining us for The Beauty of Infrastructure, The New Beauty Counter, or BUILT, this is your home base for event details, speakers, partners, and ways to stay connected.
About Triple Eight Creative
Triple Eight Creative is a beauty and experience company operating at the intersection of hospitality, community, and technology.
Through partnerships, events, and digital experiences, we help brands, properties, and communities create experiences that feel personal, intentional, and memorable.
This Tech Week series explores three different conversations that all connect back to one question:
How do we build experiences that people actually want to be part of?
event 1 
The Beauty Of Infrastructure
The best experiences rarely happen by accident.
The Beauty of Infrastructure explores how hospitality, real estate, and technology are evolving to meet the changing expectations of guests and residents. Together, we'll examine how operators, investors, and experience-driven brands are thinking about the future of service, convenience, personalization, and connection.

The New Beauty Counter
The beauty counter used to be where people went to feel understood.
Today, we have more access than ever, yet many people feel more overwhelmed and less seen than ever before.
The New Beauty Counter explores what replaces that feeling. How are people discovering beauty now? Who do they trust? How does technology support connection without replacing it? And what happens when community becomes part of the customer experience itself?
This conversation includes the public debut of Char and a live exploration of how beauty, technology, and community can work together to create more personalized experiences.
Meet the Speakers
Meet the Vendors
The New Beauty Counter is rooted in community, and that includes the small businesses shaping culture from the ground up.
We’re featuring three Black women-owned small businesses during the event, each bringing their own perspective to beauty, wellness, style, and the way we show up.
Meet them in the room, shop with them during the event, or support them online if you can’t make it.
Because the new beauty counter is not just about products.
It’s about who we discover, who we support, and who gets to be part of the conversation.
See you at The New Beauty Counter.
BUILT
Stop guessing. Start building.
BUILT is a live building workshop for beauty professionals ready to clarify their brand, strengthen their digital presence, and build with more direction.
This is not a traditional class or panel.
BUILT is a real-time strategy session where selected beauty professionals work through their brand, positioning, customer experience, and digital presence using Char Pro, Triple Eight Creative’s guided brand-building tool for beauty professionals.
Guests will watch the building process happen live and see how strategy, systems, AI-supported guidance, and human experience can come together to create stronger beauty businesses.
The Official Launch of Char Pro
Char Pro is designed to help beauty professionals navigate the business side of their work with greater clarity.
From brand positioning to service language, pricing direction, customer experience, and digital presence, Char Pro helps pros organize what they’re building and turn their experience into a stronger brand foundation.
BUILT is the first live look at how Char Pro works.
