Product data strategy in the age of agentic commerce: Explaining the importance of "AI-ready" product data through the latest international case studies

Event Overview

The era in which AI agents, not consumers searching, choose products has already begun.

In March 2026, at Shoptalk2026, the world’s largest retail tech conference held in Las Vegas, USA, industry leaders such as Sephora, e.l.f. Beauty, and Walmart all echoed the same message: "Whether or not you are chosen by AI will become the next competitive battleground."

At the core of this is the redesign of product data. Simply listing spec information is not enough for AI to understand. Only data that is structured, contextualized, and designed for meaning will be recommended by AI. In this webinar, we’ll quickly deliver a frontline report from Shoptalk2026 while clearly explaining what "AI-Ready" product data is. Through a live product demo, we’ll introduce concrete actions you can take starting today.

From "search optimization" to "AI optimization (AEO)." We’ll share the cutting edge of product data strategy for building a brand that gets chosen.
