commerce.dev: Agentic Commerce & AI Meetup
Commerce, Reimagined: Agentic Commerce & AI Meetup
A GTM Tech Week Berlin side event, hosted by Your Next Store × Vercel
Shoppers are changing, and so are the stores they buy from. AI agents now search, compare and buy on behalf of customers. For brands this is a real shift and a real opportunity, and we’d like to talk about it with you.
Who we are
Your Next Store is an AI-native e-commerce platform for brands that want to move fast without trading off performance. Backed by Stripe and Vercel, we combine modern infrastructure with AI built into every part of the store, from catalog and content to checkout. Brands can launch in days instead of months and grow without re-platforming.
Why we’re hosting this
Together with Vercel, we’re inviting e-commerce professionals, founders, marketers, developers and anyone curious about modern commerce for an evening on agentic commerce and AI in e-commerce. You won’t hear buzzwords and you won’t sit through a sales pitch. Instead you’ll get first-hand stories from people who have scaled one of Europe’s largest online retailers, launched a consumer brand from zero, and built the technology behind both. You’ll leave with ideas you can use the next morning, plus a few new people worth knowing.
A first taste of commerce.dev
This evening is a satellite event and a sneak peek of something bigger. commerce.dev is Poland’s first conference dedicated to AI and agentic commerce, coming to Warsaw in 2027. It’s planned as a full week of hands-on formats rather than a day of back-to-back talks: a hackathon, workshops, expert round tables on payments, logistics, marketing and AI, plenty of networking, and a VIP dinner. Join us in Berlin for a preview of the ideas, people and energy we’re bringing to Warsaw, and be among the first to hear when tickets go live.

🎤 Speakers
Markus Lorenz: CEO & Founder, datrycs
Markus has spent his career at the point where commerce and technology meet. As former Director Digital & E-Commerce Platform at Lampenwelt, Europe’s largest online lighting retailer, he led the digital platform behind a business that sells in more than 25 international markets. Today he is CEO and founder of datrycs, where he helps brands build and scale their digital commerce.
In his talk, Markus goes back to the days when replatforming meant a multi-year project, a handful of options and one obvious winner: Magento. He’ll share what that migration really looked like from the inside, then fast-forward to today. Now the choice is wide, composable and moving fast, and AI and agentic commerce are changing what a platform needs to do. You’ll learn which questions matter when choosing a platform in 2026, and which ones no longer do.
Lila Janot: Founder, Miklo
Lila built Miklo, a home care brand, and took it from idea to a live online store in record time. Many young founders have a great product but get stuck on go-to-market: platforms, payments, logistics, marketing. Her talk is an honest account of how she got through it, what she would do differently, and how fast it’s possible to launch today.
[Speaker TBA]: [Title, Company]
This is the technical session of the evening. It looks at the infrastructure behind modern commerce: what makes a store fast, scalable and ready for AI agents to browse and buy. Bring your questions about architecture, performance and the tech stack.
