Stylist Live is returning to London’s Kensington Olympia this November – and now you can upgrade your experience (and your career) with access to our re-purposed Thrive Studio.
From the 9-11 November, Stylist Live is taking over Olympia London for an unmissable three-day festival, featuring a mix of over 60 sessions and 100 speakers across our four stages.
Better still, though, is the fact that you can now upgrade your Stylist Live experience with access to our re-purposed Thrive Studio.
Priced at £30, this ticket lets you get your mitts on everything available at general admission level (think a complimentary drink, access to all open stage sessions and talks, access to the Stylist Catwalk), as well as entry to Thrive’s intimate, closed-off, exclusive space.
Once inside, you can join like-minded individuals for one of our 40-minute sessions – each of which has been designed in order to help you learn more, do more, and reflect more without interruption. And on Friday 9 November, there’s a very good chance that they will transform your career for the better, too, as they allow you to spend time with real experts and ask as many questions as you like.
Here’s what’s on offer:
