During this time, roundtables will be taking place. Hosts will lead back-to-back 25-minute-long conversations with new groups of retailers for each rotation.
Table 1: Navigating the Agentic Era: Agents That Buy and Agents That Lie
Identifying the entity and intent behind a retail session is only getting harder as shoppers, agents, crawlers, and bots all get better at looking like something they're not. Blocking everything turns away real customers who sent an agent to shop for them, while letting them all through invites fraud that looks like legitimate traffic. In this roundtable, we explore how best-in-class retailers are embracing the agentic era by identifying the signals that separate trusted shoppers and agents from imposters, welcoming high-intent agents without opening the door to malicious actors.
