What's different this year

Getting agentic-ready, starting with the token

Agents are starting to transact, and every one of those transactions still runs on a token, a route and a set of rules. Last year the theme was "the future is open." This year it is agentic: what merchants need in the vault, the orchestration layer and the protocols to be ready for it.

Sessions

Go deep on the payments stack

Attend hands-on, working sessions that go deep on the payments stack — Agentic Payment Infrastructure and vault management, orchestration, analytics, and agentic commerce.

Session 01
Agentic Payment Infrastructure

Tokenization is the backbone of agentic commerce — a look at what it takes to make AI agents trusted, secure participants in payment flows, not just chat interfaces bolted onto checkout.

Session 02
Voice of the Partner: PayPal

A conversation with PayPal on the adoption curve for PayPal Complete Payments (PPCP) — what's driving merchant uptake, where friction still shows up, and what's next.

Session 03
Advanced Transactions

What if getting paid stopped being a compliance exercise and started being a revenue line?

Session 04
Analytics & Performance Optimization

The metrics worth instrumenting, and the diagnostics that change decisions.

Agentic commerce
Session 05 · New
Agentic Commerce & Payments

What changes when agents transact — and what the stack has to do differently to keep up.
