MAGIC CARPET PRESENTS · CONVERSATIONAL COMMERCE

​A SPECIAL EVENING WITH ANAND ARIVUKKARASU · FIRESIDE CHAT · WORKSHOP · POT LUCK DINNER

​Anand Arivukkarasu makes his first appearance at The Dell. A former Meta Product Manager on Instagram and Messenger, he now advises SaaS businesses on AI strategy and on defending revenue from the encroachment of the AI labs. He is a pioneer in AI Search, with ground-breaking work on getting brands featured in Google AI Overviews.

​He has six frameworks for building products that survive and thrive in an AI world. Only one has ever been made public — the AI Strategic Framework at supplychainofai.com, which now ranks alongside the McKinsey models in Google AI Overviews. Type “Strategic AI Frameworks” into Google and you will see it.

​The other five are normally reserved for his client workshops. Recent clients include Lovable and Replit.

​You will get all six.

​The Evening:

​01 The Journey To Agentic AI Product Management FIRESIDE CHAT · SCOTT SIMPSON · Attune (CHRISTCHURCH)

​Scott Simpson from Attune hosts a fireside chat with Anand to distill fifteen years — from hardware engineer, to social network product manager, to builder, to advisor to startups that sold to Google, to a sought-after Agentic AI Product Management consultant for Lovable and Replit.

​02 Agentic AI Product Management Workshop 6 UNIQUE FRAMEWORKS FOR BUILDING PRODUCTS THAT SURVIVE AND THRIVE IN AN AI WORLD

​For SaaS, AI, Hardware, Deep Tech builders (and any product/service business). Bring a laptop.

​What people said in Queenstown:

​”I could listen to Anand all day.”

​”This is incredible knowledge he is sharing.”

​”One of the top AI Thought Leaders who can help lift everyone up.”

​His workshop at Ski Commerce in Queenstown last week was the stand-out session. People came away with a fresh perspective on what they are building, and several with the kind of epiphany you do not get at a conference. This is his last stop before he returns home to Dallas, Texas.
