Workshop #2: Agentic AI & Agentic Commerce

This Workshop is the Second of a Series of Three Workshops organised by The Wharton Club of Hong Kong and Insead Alumni Association of Hong Kong, in collaboration with HKGCC covering Vibe Coding, Agentic AI and Financial Analysis & Modeling using AI.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This Page Registers you ONLY FOR THE SECOND WORKSHOP of the series, to purchase our Bundled Package of All Three Workshops, Please Click Here.

Our Second of the Three Full Day AI Workshop Series Focuses on Agentic AI & Agentic Commerce.

Modern day AI has moved beyond LLMs to AI Agents, and e-commerce is predicted to move towards Agentic Commerce.

Many Wall-Street Banks have already started experiments of having "AI-Agents as New Employees".

Irrespective of whether AI Agents indeed become new-employees. It's highly likely that most of us will soon have AI-Agents to assist us in our jobs, in the very near future.

The path towards Agentic AI is leading us to an Agentic Commerce future with Agents negotiating among themselves and executing financial transactions.

The Workshop covers these concepts and gets participants started on the practical path of building their own AI Agents.

So Registering Early is highly recommended for the prep-work.

So Register ASAP, as we expect the Workshops to be highly over-subscribed.
