/ About this event
Commerce is entering a new era: discovery is increasingly AI-mediated, creators are becoming infrastructure, and brand operators are rethinking what to buy, build, and consolidate. Join a curated room of CPG founders and operators, commerce and creator-economy technology leaders, and investors for two focused panels plus networking.
