The AI Advantage | Ecom Founder Day San Diego
About this Event
Monday, November 16, 2026 | Kona Kai, Shelter Island, San Diego
One day to work on what matters now. And what's coming next.
On November 16, we are bringing together 50 established e-commerce founders at Kona Kai on beautiful Shelter Island.
Ecom is shifting fast. AI. Omnichannel. TikTok Shop. The founders who stay closest to what is actually winning will finish this year stronger and walk into 2027 with a clearer edge.
That is when being in person matters most.
Surrounded by operators who are already testing, building and scaling. A finger on the pulse of what is working, not another stack of theory.
The focus is The AI Advantage.
Not AI for the sake of AI.
How the technology, combined with the knowledge, experience and data already inside our businesses, creates real advantage in how we operate and grow. And how that sits next to omnichannel and social commerce as the channel mix keeps changing.
Dan Ashburn and John Aspinall will lead the practical sessions, joined by Roger Vi, Andrew Erickson and Josh Hadley, bringing their perspectives as operators who have built and scaled substantial businesses.
We'll look at what's working, what's changing and how to turn those insights into clear direction for your business.
For founders who want to build alongside us, bring your laptop and your systems.
For those leading the vision and strategy, bring the person responsible for implementation, or come ready to map out what your team should be building next.
The goal is to leave with a sharper read on what is winning, practical progress on AI, and a stronger plan for the rest of this year into 2027.
And of course, a huge part of the value is the people.
When the market is moving this fast, the conversations, introductions and pressure-tested ideas you get from the best operators around you are worth more than another week figuring it out alone.
Sometimes one day spent with the right people can save months of figuring something out on your own.
And because this is Titan, the experience goes well beyond the working sessions.
A Sunday beach bonfire. A private sunset catamaran on San Diego Bay. Dinner together afterward.
A productive day for your business. Incredible people. And a beautiful couple of days in San Diego.
We are using this momentum in San Diego to finish the year well, and look clearly into 2027.
What We'll Be Working On
1. Building Your AI Advantage
Every established business has years of valuable information across its products, customers, pricing, operations and performance.
The opportunity is to turn that knowledge into something your business can use more intelligently.
Dan will share the framework he's implementing inside his own companies, showing how AI can be given a working understanding of your business and connected to the systems you already use.
The aim is to move beyond individual AI tools toward a more connected, intelligent business.
2. Where AI Can Make the Biggest Difference
We'll explore practical applications across the areas that matter most to e-commerce founders.
Inventory, Forecasting & Supply Chain
Using AI to improve visibility, identify potential stock issues, support forecasting and make better inventory decisions.
Amazon Listings & Competitive Intelligence
Monitoring listings, rankings and competitors to identify changes, opportunities and potential risks.
Customer Experience
Using customer insights and AI-supported workflows to improve service, identify recurring issues and support your team.
Profitability, PPC & Growth
Connecting business intelligence with the decisions that influence margins, advertising performance and profitable scale.
The sessions will include hands-on implementation for founders and team members who want to build, alongside practical examples and strategic discussions for those leading the business.
The bigger question is where these capabilities could create the greatest return for your company.
3. Your Next 90 Days
What should your business prioritize?
Where are the biggest opportunities to improve performance?
What should your team be building, connecting or implementing next?
We'll bring the day together by working on a practical 90-day plan based on the opportunities most relevant to your business.
Leave knowing what matters, what comes next and how to move it forward.

Why Just 50 Founders?
The format is intentionally small.
The goal is to create genuine opportunities for discussion, implementation and interaction with the founders and experts leading the day.
Attendance is limited to 50 so the experience stays practical, personal and valuable.
It's designed for founders running seven-, eight- and nine-figure e-commerce businesses who want a clear read on what is winning, strengthen their companies and prepare for what's next.
Titan membership isn't required.
Bring your laptop if you'd like to build, or bring the person responsible for implementing AI in your business.

50 established founders. One focused day. A finger on the pulse of what is winning, and a plan for what comes next.
Secure your place while workshop tickets are available.
Really looking forward to bringing everyone together!
