State of the Agency 2026: AI Roundtable

​Something is secretly brewing in commerce right now.

The world of agencies is beginning to crack. The pressure from boards, founders, and GTM teams is unlike anything we’ve seen before. Everyone is being pushed to become AI-forward - and the reality is simple: adapt or get left behind.

​This won’t kill agencies. It will redefine them. The agencies that win will be the most creative, strategic, and AI-enabled.

​So we’re hosting a conversation for the agencies that want to be at the forefront of innovation - the ones looking to evolve, integrate AI into their workflows, and build the next generation of client services.

​On Thursday, May 28 at 3:00 PM ET, you'll hear from:

• ​Kat Garcia - CEO of Ground AI (Silicon Valley startup) on what autonomous AI is actually doing inside brands today like Makeup by Mario, Ghia, Mary Ruth's Organics, and the amazing work we're seeing with agencies we have worked with.

• ​Lindsey Peterson - Head of Partnerships at Ground, previously VP of Merchandising at Violet Grey and Saks Fifth Avenue - on what she's hearing from the agencies and brands already in deep on this, and how to bring this wave back to your client base in a way that earns you budget instead of competing for it.

​What you'll walk away with:

• ​A clear picture of what autonomous AI actually looks like inside a real commerce brand today

• ​Real numbers from brands running it inside agency partnerships

• ​How to bring this to your brands without sounding like everyone else's AI pitch

• ​Live Q&A

​This is for the agencies who want to lead what's coming.
