questions
the things hosts ask us.
is this an influencer program?
not really. we’re looking for creators and cultural connectors: people whose work we admire and whose people would belong here. an engaged online audience helps. so does a strong real-world network. either one is enough to apply.
what am i committing to?
the baseline is simple: attend the night you host, invite your network, and share the event in a way that fits your voice. the exact promotional commitment is agreed on your introductory call, before you accept, so nothing is a surprise.
do i have to be in new york?
hosting halloween means being at mercer labs on your night, so yes for that. for 2027, the calendar is new york first, but the app opens a live session around every night so you can take part from anywhere, and as we grow, the calendar will travel.
how does the ticket earning work?
you get a personal referral link or code. every paying guest who buys through it earns you a share of their ticket:
| tickets sold | your share | approx. per ticket |
|---|---|---|
| 1–100 | 10% of ticket value | ~$10 |
| 101+ | 20% of ticket value | ~$20 |
for example: sell 50 tickets and you’ll earn around $500. sell 200 and you’ll earn around $4,000.
we walk through the full terms on your call. earnings are settled after the weekend.
what does the 2027 membership include?
the standard premium membership, valued at $550: the CX app, the full fifty-two-night 2027 calendar, and the standard premium-member benefits. it is personal to you, and various nights allow various numbers of guests to come with you.
is the paid creative work guaranteed?
no. it is a real opportunity, not a promise. hosts are the first people we look to when a night needs a dj, a performer, a photographer, a writer, or a look, through the rest of 2026 and all of 2027.
what is the equity stake?
a small equity position in CX through qualifying founding-member status. it expresses a simple idea: people who help build CX should share in its future. the qualification requirements and grant terms are explained during onboarding.
i applied. what happens next?
we read every application. selected applicants are invited to an introductory call with the CX team.
once accepted, you receive:
- an onboarding call
- the onboarding tool kit
- a calendar to choose which weekend you’re hosting
- your rsvp to the october 17th preview
how do i reach a person?
