AI for Ecommerce Launch Event

# Networking

Welcome to the first event from AI for Ecommerce.

This community brings together ecommerce founders, local business owners, and SaaS operators in Toronto to share what's working, learn from each other's experiences, and figure it out together. Food will be served.

At this first meetup, we'll introduce ourselves, set the direction for the community together, and kick off with a roundtable discussion about Agentic Commerce. No long presentations! This is a real conversation with people in Toronto working in AI and Ecommerce who are figuring out the same things you are.

Make sure to register before August 27. You need to bring a physical version of government-issued ID to check-in at Stripe Toronto's office. Make sure the name that you used to sign up matches the name on the ID. Stripe will email you the QR code for check-in before the event.

Who's it for? Business owners, operators, and working in AI and Ecommerce (whether you already use Stripe, are exploring the ecosystem, or simply want a peer community to come back to).

We'll discuss about whether your business is ready for Agentic Commerce, then close with a tour of stripecommunity.com, where this community will live between events. We'll also work together to define our community principles.

Community principles brainstorm

Together, we'll define what this community stands for — the values that guide how members show up for each other. The output becomes a community charter posted in discussions. Joining this event makes you a Seed member, and this is your opportunity to help define the community as a group.
