An intelligent agent is only as capable as the architecture it stands upon. In this candid panel, leaders move past the hype to examine what production-grade AI actually demands: the right data foundation, the right latency, and the right architecture to survive the scale and edge cases of today's customer engagement.

This workshop covers both sides of the growth equation: building the right audiences to make ad spend work harder, then re-engaging the dormant customers already in your database. You'll work through how to design re-engagement programs that respond to actual customer behavior, and get a first look at how Loomi marketing agent can compress hours of manual setup into minutes.

We'll take a real marketing problem and build and launch a campaign live — from an insights agent's morning brief flagging a shrinking audience, through a campaign agent building the flow, to a content agent generating the creative. Then we open the floor: throw us a use case and we'll build it in real time. You'll leave knowing exactly how to use your credits and with at least one idea to try this week.

For leaders thinking about what's next. This track tackles the strategic layer — compounding the value of existing AI investments, unifying fragmented customer data, and navigating the build-vs-buy decision for agentic AI.
Musa Tariq — the marketing leader behind marquee moments at Apple, Nike, Airbnb, Burberry, Ford, and GoFundMe — built his reputation not just on iconic brand work, but on a rare gift for mentoring executives through moments of real change. In this executive workshop, Musa will bring that same candid, human approach to the challenges keeping today's C-suite up at night: standing out in an oversaturated market, staying close to the customer, and leading teams with steadiness amid constant disruption. Expect practical frameworks and honest conversation designed to help executives leave with sharper clarity on the value only they can bring, especially as AI reshapes what "doing the job" even means.

Marketers are being asked to work with more data, bigger context, and faster decisions, delivering a scale of personalization that wasn't practical before AI. That raises a new question: what do companies need to build — and connect — to enable agentic marketers? Leave with a practical framework for deciding what belongs in the warehouse, what stays in the marketing platform, what to connect, and what to build.

The previous session gave you the framework. This one is the proof. Four teams built agents on Loomi Connect, and each walks you through what they made. Groupon's xxx. Voucherify's Vincent. Sportisimo's xxx and Colours of Data xxx. Not slides about what's possible, but the actual thing: why they built it that way, what it took, and what changed once it was running.

Every enterprise faces the same question: how do you balance flexibility, performance, and maintainability when architecting your content infrastructure? In this deep-dive session, we'll explore the real-world trade-offs organizations navigate when designing their CMS architecture — from headless and hybrid approaches to composable stacks and monolithic consolidation. Whether you're scaling across markets, managing multi-brand content operations, or modernizing a legacy stack, this session will equip you with frameworks to evaluate what's right for your organization, not just what's trending. Expect candid discussion on where to invest, where to simplify, and how to avoid over-engineering.

Get an inside look at what it takes to make a content estate ready for AI agents. In this session, Roger Donald, Head of Website Services at NHS England, will share the story of the Website Consolidation programme, which is taking on 600+ websites and 39 CMS platforms. He will cover what the programme revealed about trust and provenance, how canonical ambiguity creates failure demand and amplifies AI risk, and how a governed headless approach with Bloomreach lays the groundwork for AI-assisted authoring, governance and publishing. This is your opportunity to hear honest early lessons from a large public-sector organisation, see a practical four-level model for agentic readiness, and consider how your own content and governance foundations measure up before AI is asked to act on them.

This is your opportunity to see where the product is heading, understand how it aligns with your own roadmap, and shape the conversation with direct feedback to the team building it.

The hype around AI in content management is loud — but what's actually working? This panel brings together voices from across the ecosystem — a customer in the trenches, a partner implementing solutions, and Bloomreach's own product team — for an unfiltered conversation about the state of AI in CMS today. What's delivering real value? Where are the gaps between promise and production? How are teams practically integrating generative and agentic AI into their content supply chains? Cut through the noise and hear what the AI CMS reality looks like in 2026 — and where it's headed.
