VGS, the trusted digital and agentic infrastructure, today announced the return of Agent Connect, the premier industry gathering shaping the future of agentic commerce. The one-day event brings together the humans behind the agents to explore the future of AI-driven payments. Agent Connect will take place at Terra Gallery in San Francisco on March 9, 2027.

After the success of last year’s sold-out Agent Connect, which included guest speakers from OpenAI, Shopify, Visa, Stripe, Amazon, and Instacart, this year's event will once again host the builders, leaders, and innovators shaping the future of agentic commerce. As agentic systems become more capable, they introduce new opportunities around trust and payments. Agent Connect aims to provide a practical forum for discussing how these systems will operate securely, efficiently, and at scale, now and in the future, by bringing together perspectives from across AI, security, fintech, and commerce.

"Last year was about building the payments infrastructure and foundation for agentic commerce," said Chuck Yu, CEO of VGS. "This year, it's becoming reality as live agentic experiences reach consumers and merchants begin adopting at scale."

The event will explore how AI agents are being built, deployed, governed, and monetized across the payments ecosystem through a full day of programming, including a series of panels featuring leading voices in the agentic commerce ecosystem, and will conclude with a networking cocktail hour.

The one-day event will feature themes of:

• How AI agents are changing payment flows and decisioning
• What agentic commerce requires from existing payment infrastructure
• How tokenization is enabling secure data sharing
• Designing agent-ready architectures that scale globally
• The merchant perspective on agentic commerce

Agent Connect is designed for professionals across fintech, payments, AI, security, and commerce who are building or planning for agent-enabled payments.
