AI-powered personalisation is entering a new era.

Until now, most personalisation strategies have focused on reacting to customer behaviour by recommending products, optimising content and tailoring messages based on previous interactions. But agentic AI changes the equation entirely. 

Rather than simply responding to prompts, agentic AI can proactively pursue goals, understand context, adapt in real time, and make intelligent decisions across the customer journey. This shift enables brands to move beyond static personalisation toward dynamic experiences that continuously evolve with every interaction. The result is a new model of customer engagement: one that delivers hyper-relevant experiences at scale, accelerates decision-making in real time, and drives deeper customer loyalty and retention.

In this opening keynote, we will explore how agentic personalisation is transforming the future of customer experience through three emerging applications: 

• Autonomous Search: Explore how Agentic AI interprets intent behind every query and delivers personalised results, turning search into an adaptive, interactive experience.
• Autonomous Marketing: Discover how AI agents independently optimise customer journeys in real time, improving efficiency, relevance, and personalisation at scale.
• Conversational Shopping: Go beyond chatbots, and learn how AI agents understand nuance, answer complex questions, offer tailored recommendations, and proactively support customers throughout the journey. 

Every new product, service or proposition follows an adoption curve but too often organisations market to every customer in the same way, at the same time.

While much of the industry conversation focuses on personalisation tools, AI, targeting, and recommendations, this session, presented by Kirsty Gordon, Head of Product at Sky, explores a broader challenge: how organisations can move beyond personalising individual interactions to orchestrating connected customer experiences across channels.

Today, personalisation has become the destination, when it should really be viewed as an enabler. Kirsty explores the theory that customers don't want more personalisation, they want less effort. The organisations that will succeed won't be those with the most sophisticated personalisation capabilities, but those that best understand customer intent. As a result, rather than asking, "How do we personalise this channel?" the more important question is, "How do we understand customer intent and orchestrate the right experience as that intent evolves across channels?"

In this session, we'll explore:

• How customer intent is often more valuable than customer identity when designing personalised customer experiences.
• Why personalisation should be applied where it creates genuine value, rather than for its own sake.
• The future that lies in connected experiences, where channels work together around a customer outcome instead of being optimised independently

Customers don't think in channels, they think in moments. They browse a product on mobile, abandon a basket on desktop, open an email later that day, and scroll past a reminder on social media the next morning. Each of these interactions is a signal of intent or need. 

• How to design customer journeys that adapt in real time across channels
• The data and technology needed to unify cross-channel experiences
• How to measure success in a cross-channel world

As organisations continue to invest in personalisation, many are facing a fundamental challenge: the quality, accessibility, and completeness of their data.

This panel discussion explores why strong data foundations are the true enabler of effective personalisation, well before any advanced technologies are layered on top. This is because for many brands, particularly in consumer goods, the core issue is not a lack of tools, but a lack of visibility. With a significant portion of customer interactions happening through third-party retailers, brands are often left with only a partial view of customer behaviour and preferences. This fragmented data landscape makes it difficult to deliver relevant, timely, and consistent personalised experiences.

This session will focus on what it really takes to build a connected and reliable data ecosystem that supports meaningful personalisation. Panellists will discuss the practical realities of collecting and unifying first-party data, the increasing role of data partnerships and secure collaboration methods such as clean rooms, and the governance and operational challenges involved in ensuring data is accurate, usable, and compliant. The conversation will also address a common disconnect: many organisations have invested in data infrastructure, yet still struggle to activate that data effectively within CRM and marketing strategies.

The session will highlight how organisations can move beyond isolated transactions toward a more complete, customer-centric understanding that enables more relevant and effective engagement.

Key Takeaways:

• A clear understanding of the critical data gaps limiting personalisation and how to begin addressing them.

• Practical approaches to strengthening first-party data strategies and leveraging partnerships to enrich customer insight.

• How to bridge the gap between data infrastructure and activation to deliver more consistent, relevant customer experiences

Time to take a stand. We're breaking from the script for an interactive debate. We'll throw out 8 polarising statements, your job is to pick a side, sharpen your arguments with your team, and go head-to-head with the opposition 

During our closing session, we will bring together the key learnings from across the conference and revisit the four guiding questions we introduced at the start of Day One: 

• What does personalisation mean today?
• What is the role of AI and technology in your approach to personalisation? 
• What are the key components required to successfully deliver personalisation? 
• How do you measure the impact of personalisation? 

We will use these questions as a framework to reflect on how thinking around personalisation has evolved from traditional segmentation and rule-based targeting to intelligent systems that operate in real time. We will also explore how the future of personalisation is no longer simply about better targeting. Instead, it is about building adaptive, AI-driven systems that continuously shape and optimise the customer experience in the moment. 

A key theme we will explore during this conference wide discussion is the move from reactive to predictive personalisation. Rather than responding to what customers have already done, the most advanced organisations are beginning to anticipate what customers are likely to need next and proactively shaping experiences, content, and offers accordingly. This shift from reaction to prediction represents a fundamental change in how marketing value is created. In this new environment, brands that remain purely reactive risk falling behind. Competitive advantage will increasingly belong to organisations that can anticipate needs and deliver meaningful experiences before the customer even expresses intent.
