Who is this for?

AI platform developers, founders, and infrastructure companies looking to have open discussions on the “how” of agentic commerce enablement. The obstacles, tactics, and lessons learned from building or enabling agentic commerce platforms.

We're going past the marketing fluff to peel back the layers of the hype that is agentic commerce. This event will be led by the people actually implementing, funding, using, and building solutions for agent-driven payments.
