In the closing keynote of Conversion Hotel 2025, I shared how websites need to be optimised for AI agents and what that means for the future of CRO. The keynote started as a story about a confused chimpanzee that kept escaping from the zoo, moved on to my love for the New York Knicks, and ended with Homer Simpson and Frankenstein's monster. In one word: Clarity is all you need. You had to be there!

I was invited to co-host the panel discussion with Kelly Wortham (TLC), with Luiza de Lange and Carlos Trujillo as the panelists. We discussed the future of shopping and how agentic commerce could fundamentally change the way we do it. What does this mean for brands, marketers, and CRO pros? Are we entering a haunted house of disappearing conversion tactics? Or uncovering hidden treats that make commerce simpler, smarter, and more human?

This webinar cut through AI hype with a live demo of building a workflow in n8n that connected GA4, Google Sheets, and Slack. Attendees learned what AI agents are, how to avoid common misconceptions, and saw how AI extends beyond ChatGPT into tools like Slack. The session showed how to retrieve and contextualize data before generating output and included a hands-on setup of an AI agent, plus a free PDF recipe to replicate the workflow.

I shared an exciting look at how digital product development is being revolutionized by new tools, teams, and methodologies. Drawing from my experience building two digital products simultaneously, I showcased how rapid validation methods, distributed teams, and AI-powered workflows are transforming the industry. The talk cut through the hype to reveal which emerging practices are truly game-changing, while giving attendees actionable strategies to speed up development and make AI their ultimate product development partner.

I talked about how non-CRO people like developers, agency owners, and e-commerce business owners can start using conversion optimisation to better understand the needs and anxieties of the people visiting and buying from their websites, and ultimately be able to provide them the experience that is most likely to lead to a conversion and better customer experience.

I discussed how to optimize WordPress sites from a front-end perspective, focusing on how users' devices process pages, common challenges, and tools for improvement. I covered optimisation techniques, Core Web Vitals, and how to manage performance when dealing with multiple themes and plugins - all while keeping the focus on user experience rather than server-side performance.

A talk focused on WordPress front-end performance optimisation, tailored for the Porto WordPress community. I shared practical techniques for improving Core Web Vitals, managing performance with multiple themes and plugins, and creating better user experiences through front-end optimisations.
