TecHUB Conference 2026 · Zurich
AI no longer just answers questions. It researches, decides, orders and pays. Four talks, one evening, one question: what happens to e-commerce when it is no longer the human clicking, but their agent?
Around 100 seats. Open to members, customers and guests.
The topic
In 2026, agentic AI moved from buzzword to everyday project work. Agents research products, compare prices, fill carts and trigger payments. For anyone who builds, runs or advises on shops, the central question shifts: no longer how to convince people, but how to be found, understood and selected by machines.
The TecHUB Conference 2026 takes this on in four focused talks: a sober introduction, a real project case, the technical architecture, and the open questions around trust and payment. Afterwards there is time for what TecHUB is actually about: talking to people who are solving the same problems.
Programme
Each talk runs 30 minutes: 20 minutes presentation, 10 minutes questions. Single track, everyone sees everything. Talks are held in German or English, the language is stated on each talk.
OrientationGerman
Julia Herz, Dreamleap
AI agents are fundamentally transforming e-commerce. They search, compare, and make decisions increasingly autonomously. In this keynote, Julia Herz demonstrates what Agentic AI can already achieve today—both in sales and in the back office. She explores how companies can prepare and what impact Agentic Commerce will have on visibility, customer access, and competitiveness.
PracticeGerman and English
Remo Girard and Konstantinos Konstantelos, LumAIa
How an agentic inventory idea became a working MVP: the decisions along the way, what the architecture looks like and where reality pushed back. Remo presents in German, Kostas in English.
TechnologyGerman
Marco Kündig, copebit AG & René Hämmerli, Sly AG
Many have built GenAI demos, but very few deploy agents in production for real customers and revenue. AWS introduces Bedrock AgentCore, copebit explains the architecture and guardrails for implementation, and Sly shows its practical application in the Velox e-commerce platform alongside its concrete business value.
OutlookGerman
Martin König, Transformation Coach
AI brings speed. The governance framework makes sure it holds. And only in a learning organisation does that speed actually land.
Speakers
Six speakers, four talks, one evening.
