Magebit at Meet Magento New York 2025

Sponsorship: Gold Sponsor

Booth: The Magebit team ran a booth with Hyvä and Venta demos and performance case studies, talking with merchants about slow sites, roadmaps, migrations and using AI in day-to-day e-commerce work.

Talk: Why Your Next Competitive Edge Is AI-Powered Teams

Speaker: Raimonds Vizulis, Senior DevOps Engineer (Magebit)

Business track. Raimonds showed real workflows where AI helps developers, project managers, QA, marketers and support — automated test generation, faster reporting, content variations and AI support agents. His point for merchants: the edge is not having AI but teaching people to use it daily, which means leaner teams, faster launches and better customer experience. See how we put AI to work for merchants.

Awards: Magebit was the most-nominated agency in the Ecommerce Excellence Awards, with finalists across almost every category, and won two:

• World Traveler Award with Hydro Flask, for more than 15 localised Adobe Commerce storefronts on a Hyvä and Venta frontend.
• Innovator Award with HardwareStore, part of the Aubuchon Ace Hardware group, for the “Mix Your Color Online” paint experience.

We wrote up the day, the awards and the client visits that followed in our Meet Magento NYC 2025 recap.

Highlights

• Keynote — Emily Anderson of TikTok presented Scaling Trust: Measuring the Full-Funnel Power of Creators, on how creators drive results through the whole funnel and how to measure it.
• Adobe’s direction — Ritesh Somani gave Adobe’s Commerce and Open Source product strategy update, Igor Miniallo showed Adobe’s SaaS evolution for enterprise commerce, and Adobe also presented on agentic commerce.
• Hyvä CMS preview — Ross McHugh of Hyvä demoed the new Hyvä CMS editor, aimed at making content editing on Magento modern for developers and merchants.
• AI search and agents — sessions covered ranking in ChatGPT and other answer engines with AEO, AI-assisted testing with Playwright, and AI-driven churn recovery and inventory planning.
