Dan Roche
Workbooks
The connection between Sales and Marketing teams in B2B has always been an issue. Marketing believes they've found hot leads , while Sales don't agree. The problem? Both teams using different measures to evaluate lead quality, and no single source of truth. Leading to frustration from both teams. But the holy grail of objectivity - not subjectivity - around lead quality has finally been achieved in 2026. This session will show marketers how to use AI + CRM to make this happen, and what it means for their relationship with sales, and the wider business.

The Confidence Gap: How Immersive eCommerce Experiences Turn Browsers into Buyers
Mufaras Assyaed
Morf Tech
Online shopping has a trust problem. Customers browse, hesitate, and abandon, not because they don't want to buy, but because they can't truly see what they're buying. In this session, Mufaras explores how immersive technologies—3D visualisation, AR try-ons, and real-time product configuration are closing the confidence gap between browsing and buying. Drawing on real industry data and client experiences, this talk examines where eCommerce has been, where consumer behaviour is heading, and what forward-thinking retailers are doing right now to stay ahead of the curve.
