01 · The premise

What this evening is.

The single question the room is built around.

devx labs is bringing a small group of D2C, retail and ecommerce founders together with Shopify to explore one strategic question.

What happens when AI starts participating in the decisions that drive commerce?


02 · What's in it for you

Four questions worth clearing your evening for.

Every seat belongs to someone building, not watching.

One dinner. Four sharp conversations about how AI could reshape discovery, the customer journey, commerce economics, and the stack behind the business, with people building at your altitude, not a room full of vendors.

01 · The Agentic Customer

Discovery is changing hands.

What changes when an AI agent discovers, compares and recommends products on your customer's behalf, and how does your brand stay chosen?

02 · The New Commerce Journey

CX, conversion, loyalty: reconsidered.

What happens to conversion, loyalty and the brand-consumer relationship when the interface between the two shifts to an agent?

03 · The Economics

Where the margin actually moves.

Where do acquisition costs, operating efficiency, cost-to-serve and margins move in an agent-led purchase journey?

04 · The Stack of Tomorrow

Rebuilding the architecture underneath.

Which parts of today's commerce architecture become more strategic, less visible, or obsolete once agents are in the loop?


03 · The room

The guest list is short, on purpose.

Seats are reserved exclusively for Founders and C-suite leaders at D2C, retail and ecommerce businesses: the people who actually decide where the next AI dollar goes.

"Your customer may soon have an AI agent. What does that mean for your commerce business?"
The question we're putting on the table
