5th year at unBoxed — and somehow, the conversations keep getting more interesting.
Every year, unBoxed brings together an incredible mix of partners, agencies, brands, and technology leaders. But what I value most isn’t just seeing what’s new — it’s getting to hear directly from the ecosystem.
What are partners trying to solve?
Where are they seeing friction?
What could we make simpler?
And what do they need from Amazon Ads to move faster?
That feedback loop is at the core of what we do as Solutions Architects.
Our role goes beyond enabling the adoption of Amazon Ads products. It’s about understanding real business and technical challenges, connecting partners to the right capabilities, helping them build and integrate, and bringing their feedback back to help shape what comes next.
A few themes that stood out at #Unboxed2026:
🔹 Full-funnel advertising — creating more connected solutions across the customer journey.
🔹 AI + MCP — opening up new ways for partners and developers to build, integrate and automate advertising workflows.
🔹 APIs, data, measurement & integrations — helping partners scale their technology and unlock more value from Amazon Ads.
🔹 Co-innovation — solving problems together and turning partner challenges into opportunities to build better solutions.
After five years of attending unBoxed, my biggest takeaway remains the same:
Innovation starts with listening.
The products and technology may continue to evolve, but the most valuable conversations will always be the ones that help us understand what our partners need next.
Grateful for every conversation, every piece of feedback, and every opportunity to build something better together. ❤️
