DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nDate: September 18\, 2026\nTime: 3:00 PM – 5:
 00 PM PDT\nPresented by: TF Labs & aizii.ai \nOverview\nAs consumer discov
 ery and purchasing shift from manual web browsing to autonomous AI systems
 \, websites must adapt to remain discoverable and transactional. Join TF L
 abs and Aizii for a technical workshop covering the dual layers of Agentic
  Commerce: Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Agentic Settlement Optimiz
 ation (ASO). \nAnswer Engine Optimization (AEO) AEO focuses on broad infor
 mational visibility\, entity authority\, and conversational recommendation
 . Learn how to structure your brand’s knowledge graphs\, technical speci
 fications\, and root /llms.txt manifests so AI models like ChatGPT\, Claud
 e\, Gemini\, and Perplexity accurately cite and recommend your organizatio
 n without hallucinations or reasoning tax overhead. \nAgentic Settlement O
 ptimization (ASO) ASO provides the commerce-heavy transactional infrastruc
 ture for the machine-to-machine (M2M) economy. Learn how to optimize your 
 storefront’s structured JSON-LD schemas\, resolve catalog data drift\, a
 nd deploy protocol rails like UCP\, ACP\, and AP2 so autonomous software b
 uying agents can parse inventory\, verify real-time pricing\, and execute 
 touchless\, single-call checkouts on your site without triggering an Agent
 ic Abort. \nKey Takeaways\n– Understanding the shift from traditional SE
 O to AEO model intelligence and ASO transaction execution\n– Deploying r
 oot /llms.txt manifests and vector-ready content structures for AI answer 
 engines\n– Eliminating semantic gaps between human-rendered visual pages
  and machine-readable data layers\n– Configuring protocol handshakes and
  checkout architectures to enable deterministic AI agent purchases\n– Li
 ve storefront diagnostic audits demonstrating real-time Agentic Commerce R
 eadiness (ACR) scoring \nWho Should Attend\n– Founders\, Executives\, & 
 Directors\n– CTOs\, Lead Engineers\, & Web Architecture Teams\n– CMOs\
 , Growth Marketers\, & E-Commerce Leaders \nHosts:\nTF Labs:\nTF Labs is a
  full-service Brand Innovation and Event Management Agency working with le
 ading Retailers\, Brands\, and Enterprises. TF Labs specializes in guiding
  companies in innovation in Web3\, AI\, and content creation. \nAizii:\nAi
 zii is the definitive optimization platform that prepares your business fo
 r the machine-driven economy by automating both Answer Engine Optimization
  (AEO) and Autonomous Settlement Optimization (ASO). It continuously repai
 rs your site infrastructure\, so your company is natively recommended by m
 ajor AI search engines and perfectly structured for autonomous agents to e
 xecute seamless\, zero-drift checkouts.

DESCRIPTION:🚀 The AI Builder’s Rooftop Mixer\n​(If you can support 
 with a “Help with Drinks and Pizza” Ticket\, it goes a long way to ens
 uring we continue to host consistent events. We do not have sponsors\, so 
 I pick up the tab otherwise. Never want money to be an issue\, so if you c
 an’t\, I’ll buy it) \n​We are ready for Episode 6 and a warm-up to S
 eattle Tech Week starting the following week! Join us for Round 6 of the b
 est kind of “networking”\, the kind that happens over a cold drink wit
 h a view. Whether you’re fine-tuning LLMs\, building autonomous agents\,
  or just trying to keep up with the breakneck speed of the industry\, this
  is your space to connect. \n​The forecast is looking spectacular (clear
  skies and a perfect breeze)\, so we’re taking the conversation to the r
 ooftop. \n​Hacker Corner\n– For those who want to work and build\, we 
 will have a Hacker Corner set up to keep you going. \n​Demo\nThose inter
 ested in doing a demo of what they are working on will have a chance to sh
 owcase if selected. This is a demo\, not a pitch\, so no slide decks. We w
 ant to see a prototype\, video\, or application. \n​Why Attend?\n​Conn
 ect with Builders:\nSkip the fluff. Meet the engineers\, founders\, and re
 searchers actually shipping products in the AI space. \n​”Bring Your A
 gents”:\nThis isn’t your standard mixer. We encourage you to bring you
 r latest builds\, prototypes\, or even your favorite custom GPTs. Let’s 
 see what those agents are actually doing. \n​The Vibe:\nHigh-energy\, lo
 w-friction. No formal panels\, no boring slide decks—just good music\, g
 reat people\, and a Friday sunset. \n​Drinks and Pizza will be provided 
 \n​Interest in Demoing?\nWe will be taking applications for live demos t
 o be presented during the event. Let us know if interested. \n​Sponsorin
 g?\nWant to get your company front and center in front of the AI community
 ? Reach out for opportunities. \n​Event Details\n​Date: Friday Septemb
