As AI-driven platforms reshape how consumers find and buy products, Net Solutions has announced an exclusive executive summit, “Competing in the AI Era,” with Profound, on February 11th at Batch LDN in London.
With nearly 60% of searches now resulting in “zero-clicks,” the event is designed to equip senior leaders with a practical roadmap to remain visible and competitive. The session will debut specialized Growth Engineering frameworks that unify data, technology, and culture to thrive in the emerging world of agentic commerce.
Value Addition: Moving Beyond AI Hype
While many organizations are stalled by AI experimentation, this summit focuses on Growth Engineering, the rigorous discipline of evolving platforms, people, and processes to secure a competitive edge. Attendees will move beyond the buzzwords to acquire a strategic toolkit designed for:
- Solving the Visibility Crisis: Unpack the technical shift where only 19% of traditional SEO factors influence AI rankings, and learn how to ensure your brand remains discoverable in a “zero-click” environment.
- Operationalizing Continuous Innovation: Shift from the exhaustion of “one-off” digital transformations to a sustainable model of constant evolution.
- Breaking Organizational Silos: Access proven frameworks to unify data, technology, and commercial teams under a singular, AI-first growth strategy.
- Defining the Agentic Roadmap: Walk away with an actionable, leadership-ready blueprint to navigate the transition from traditional eCommerce to agentic commerce.
