AI Agents at Scale: Transforming Consumer Experiences and Enterprise Operations
June 24, 3:20 – 3:50 PM CET
FEATURING: Nicolas de Bellefonds, Managing Director & Senior Partner, BCG and Nicolai Skabo, Head of Sales, EMEA, OpenAI
As AI evolves from chatbots to intelligent agents, consumer and retail businesses are entering a new era of transformation. AI-first discovery, search, and agentic commerce are reshaping how consumers discover, evaluate, and purchase products, and increasingly influencing the buying journey and redefining customer relationships. Across the enterprise, AI is reshaping marketing, operations, customer service, product development and decision-making. This session explores how companies are scaling AI across both the consumer experience and the enterprise and what separates those capturing real value from those still trying to move beyond experimentation.
