Jonathan Cherki, CEO and Founder of Contentsquare, explores what it takes to build experiences that earn loyalty in the agentic age — not as a one-time fix, but as continuous optimization for humans and agents alike, in a world where technology never stops moving.

AI can act at incredible speed, but without the right context, it can scale the wrong decisions. This session explores how brands can combine Customer 360 data with business goals, service status, customer intent, timing signals, and domain intelligence to create more relevant, precise, and governed AI-powered experiences. Attendees will gain a framework for building the context advantage and learn how to:

  • Prioritize the customer decisions that matter most and identify the context that can change their outcomes
  • Connect customer, brand, business, and domain context, then give AI governed access to the trusted signals it needs
  • Close the loop by learning from every outcome, improving future decisions, and compounding the advantage over time

Rachel Obstler Chief Product Officer Contentsquare
Hernán Asorey AI & Data Executive | Applied AI Pioneer | Former Google, Microsoft & Salesforce

Every organization has more data than ever, but the challenge is twofold: producing the highest-quality analytics and delivering that value to the teams who need it. AI adds a new layer of complexity—as data and the ability to query it become dramatically more accessible to more people, data teams need to ensure users are getting accurate answers with the right context, while building trust in the data across the organization. That means harmonizing data so it makes sense together, building the right infrastructure, and making insights accurate, accessible, and fast enough to support better decisions.

Hear from data and analytics leaders at Microsoft and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, alongside enterprise data and AI leader Hernán Asorey, as they share real-world approaches and perspectives on making data more seamless and actionable across organizations. They’ll explore how connected data, MCP, AI, automation, and strong data foundations can help teams move beyond fragmented reports, access the right insights more quickly, and make better decisions with greater confidence.

Some of the biggest barriers to conversion aren't visible on the page—they're buried deep within the product experience. For Zenni Optical, one of the largest drop-off points was entering a prescription during the online buying journey. Rather than relying on assumptions, the team turned hidden friction into a continuous experimentation program.

Join Zenni Optical and Optimizely for a behind-the-scenes look at how they run more than 85 active experiments across client-side and server-side experiences, using 130+ custom events to uncover friction, measure customer behavior, and optimize every step of the journey. Learn how Product and Marketing work together to identify high-impact opportunities, design meaningful experiments, and transform customer insights into measurable business results.

Conversational commerce and the agentic future of customer journey

Virtual

AI shopping assistants are going from novelty to necessity—and changing how customers discover, evaluate, and buy along the way. Drawing on hands-on experience at Amazon and AWS building AI shopping assistants for hundreds of millions of shoppers (and helping retailers and brands launch their own), this session cuts through the noise on what's real, what's hype, and what CX leaders actually need to know. We'll dig into the hard-won lessons and failure modes of deploying conversational commerce at scale, why agentic commerce is fast becoming an existential question for brands, and the practical steps you can take now to get "agent-ready" before AI takes over more of the customer journey.

In this fireside chat, discover why the most powerful analytical capabilities aren't just about predicting possible outcomes — they're about deeply understanding people. Along the way, hear behind-the-scenes stories about surprising consumer trends, the role of experimentation, and why human centricity can be the holy grail for any insights organization looking to increase business impact.
