AI agents are rapidly transitioning from experimentation to real-world execution, spanning product discovery, purchases, payments, and end-to-end transaction workflows. With that shift comes a new set of questions the ecosystem has to solve together:
- How do consumers, agents, and merchants interconnect?
- How do we secure sensitive data?
- How do we create interoperability at scale?
That's why we're excited to announce Agent Connect, a one-day, in-person event hosted by VGS, bringing together builders, platforms, merchants, and infrastructure leaders who are shaping the future of agentic commerce.
Agent Connect will take place on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at Terra Gallery in San Francisco.
Featured speakers include:
An Event Exploring the Future of Agentic Commerce
Agent Connect is designed to be a practical forum for discussing how these systems will operate at scale, with a focus on what works, what breaks, and what needs alignment across the ecosystem.
“Agentic commerce represents a fundamental shift in how transactions will be initiated and completed,” said Chuck Yu, CEO of VGS. “As agents begin to handle more of the workflows that power modern commerce, Agent Connect brings the ecosystem together to share and learn from each other to shape what comes next.”
Why We're Bringing the Ecosystem Together
Agentic commerce isn't being built by any single company or layer of the stack. It requires alignment across builders, platforms, infrastructure providers, and merchants to ensure these systems can operate effectively in response to real-world demands, including trust, security, compliance, and performance.
Agent Connect creates a neutral, ecosystem-level forum to share real-world learnings, surface the most challenging issues, and build partnerships that move the market forward.
If you care about how agents will transform commerce, this is the room to be in.
