About Third Wave
Work through questions about direction, customers and the next stage of the business.

Compare approaches to teams, supply chains, systems and day-to-day delivery.

Explore how product, design and storytelling shape what customers understand and experience.
Bring a decision from your business. Share the context, hear another perspective and take the conversation back into your work.
Stage-matched company rooms bring operating questions into a conversation with people facing a similar scale of decisions.
Company spaces and working tables make room for context: what you tried, where you are stuck and which trade-offs matter.
Events bring a focused question into the room. Each listing sets out its audience and access, with registration handled on Luma.
Bring a specific question. Compare the options,
the trade-offs and what others have learned.
Clarify what you are making, who it is for and what gives it a place in the market.
Work through demand, channel choices and the operational pressures that come with growth.
Question where new tools and ways of working can help, and what deserves to stay.

How commerce brands enter consideration when customers delegate more of the decision to AI.

Shopping assistants are starting to ask whether they can complete a purchase, not only recommend a product. Universal Commerce Protocol is the shared language for that. It is not live for UK customers yet. It is worth understanding now.

Your weekend sale lives on the product page. The shopping feed still shows full price. Agents shortlist from the catalogue, not the PDP. That is how you lose a comparison you never see.
Talk about what you tried, what happened and what you are still working out.

Share something useful. Selling and prospecting do not belong in the conversation.

Make room for people who approach the same question differently.

Explain the decision, the trade-offs and what you learned.
