The AI Commerce Gallery - Hackathon | Walt Disney Family Museum

AI Commerce Gallery — ZooWork × AI Valley

What does the next generation of AI-powered commerce look like?

ZooWork and AI Valley are bringing together builders, founders, engineers, designers, and commerce leaders for AI Commerce Gallery — a curated one-day hackathon and interactive showcase for products pushing commerce forward.

On October 3rd, AI Commerce Gallery takes over The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco for a full day of building, demos, and exploration.

Teams will build throughout the day in the Diane Disney Miller Exhibition Hall before the evening program moves into the Main Museum, with presentations in the Theater and Lower Lobby and private access to the Museum’s Main Galleries from 7:30–9 PM.

Teams will build AI-powered products across:

• E-commerce & storefront experiences
• Merchant operations, inventory, fulfillment & payments
• Restaurants, retail, POS & physical commerce
• AI agents, MCP integrations & workflow automation

The strongest projects will take the stage in The Walt Disney Family Museum’s Theater, bringing a day of bold ideas to life in a place built to celebrate imagination.

Then celebrate the winners, meet fellow builders, and enjoy private access to the Museum’s Main Galleries from 6–9 PM — ending the day with a little Disney magic.
