Now
The infrastructure decisions being made today will define the next decade
The challenge

Your systems were built for humans. Agents operate differently.

AI shopping agents don't navigate a UI. They query structured data, evaluate APIs, check inventory availability in real time, and transact programmatically. The technology decisions your organisation makes in the next 18 months will determine whether your stack is agent-ready or invisible.
Catalog and data architecture
Agents evaluate structured product data, pricing signals and trust attributes. Monolithic catalog systems were not designed for machine consumption at this speed or fidelity.
API exposure and composability
Becoming a transactable agent endpoint requires headless, composable infrastructure with well-defined, secure API surfaces that agents can reason over and act on.
Governance and autonomous decisions
When agents are making real commercial calls at scale, what does responsible AI look like? How do you govern without killing the velocity that makes it worthwhile?
Legacy integration without a rebuild
Most enterprise retail stacks were not built to be agent-native. The architectural question is how to open the stack securely and selectively without a full replatform.
What you will leave with

Peer-level thinking on the technical decisions that matter most

This is a peer exchange with 35+ senior technology executives, not a vendor briefing. The discussion is structured to move from the architectural to the practical.
1
Agent-native catalog design
How to structure product data, pricing, inventory and trust signals so AI agents can discover, evaluate and transact with your brand at machine speed.
2
Composable commerce architecture in practice
Real patterns for building or migrating to headless, API-first stacks without creating technical debt that compounds over time.
3
Becoming a secure, transactable agent endpoint
How to open your commerce infrastructure to external AI systems without introducing security or compliance risk at scale.
4
AI governance frameworks that work at velocity
What responsible autonomous commerce looks like when agents are making pricing, fulfilment and merchandising decisions in real time.
5
Sequencing your agentic commerce roadmap
How to prioritise infrastructure investment so each decision compounds rather than creating a patchwork of isolated AI experiments with no connective tissue.
