The goal of this workshop is to support active discussion among participants, identify shared questions and standardization opportunities, and explore possible next steps for e-commerce for humans and AI agents.
Attendance is free for invited participants and is open to people who can contribute relevant experience, use cases, technical perspectives, implementation experience, research findings, or standardization questions.
