The Agenda
HEAR FROM IMPACT ATTENDEES
AI-powered agents are increasingly acting on behalf of consumers: browsing, comparing, transacting, and completing purchases without a human. For merchants, this evolution creates an extraordinary opportunity – and extraordinary complexity.
In this cross-industry panel, digital commerce leaders will discuss how agentic AI is reshaping the ecommerce ecosystem – from customer experience to payments and risk. They’ll debate where the real opportunity lies with agentic commerce, outline what merchants need to do to prepare, and discuss how to navigate an agent-driven world.
Agentic transactions require merchants to rethink their commerce and payments infrastructure. Standards like Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) and OpenAI’s Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) are emerging to define how agents can authenticate, shop, and transact on behalf of consumers – but this is just the first step.
In this breakout session, we’ll dive deep into agentic commerce – the current state of the ecosystem, key considerations for merchants, and the key steps merchants need to take to enable agentic transactions. We’ll share best practices from early movers in the industry, surface obstacles that can derail successful implementation, and discuss where the ecosystem still needs to mature.
AI isn't just changing how consumers shop, it's fundamentally reshaping the threat landscape that merchants face. Bad actors are weaponizing AI to launch sophisticated attacks at greater scale, attack surfaces are expanding due to agentic commerce, and traditional signals of a trusted identity are disappearing as AI agents place orders on behalf of a human.
In this breakout session, fraud and risk leaders will share their perspectives on everything from AI-powered fraud attacks to the new vulnerabilities introduced with agentic commerce. We’ll dig into fraud tactics, how to safeguard agentic transactions, and best practices for merchants to stay ahead.
