5 Reasons to Attend AeraHUB 26 in Person
The countdown is officially on. AeraHUB 26, the Decision Intelligence Global Summit, takes over Pier Sixty in New York City on October 27-28, 2026, and this year we’ve doubled the runway. What was once a single day is now two fully programmed days of keynotes, customer stories, live demos, hands-on training, and networking, all under one roof on the Hudson River waterfront.
The livestream brings the keynotes, product innovation updates, and customer and partner insights to attendees worldwide. But New York City is where the full experience happens. Here are five reasons to be there in person.
1. Decision Architect Training, included (a $2,000+ value)
Step into a rising role. Your most consequential decisions often cross several teams, none of whom know the others are involved. The decision architect closes that gap, mapping how decisions get made and building the systems that connect them. (Learn more about the role.)
Master the method. Work through a real use case and learn how to:
- Decompose complex decisions into structured, digitized components
- Model frameworks that reflect real-world dynamics and business logic
- Apply change management strategies to drive adoption and sustain impact
- Orchestrate decisions end-to-end in Aera
Sharpen your edge. Included with every Full AeraHUB Pass, the training equips you to accelerate your organization’s journey to enterprise-wide decision intelligence, and to take the next step in your career.
2. Real-world use cases and a decision intelligence roadmap
Explore real-world use cases. Breakout sessions show decision intelligence at work across industries and functions:
- Hershey scaling autonomy across the business
- AstraZeneca managing thousands of shipment decisions
- Becle (producer of Jose Cuervo) balancing craftsmanship against global demand swings
- Bristol Myers Squibb automating data governance so its teams can build their own skills
- Rio Tinto deploying from mine to customer
You’ll also see how enterprises are extending these capabilities into finance, revenue, and HR.
Leave with a plan. In a guided working session, you’ll learn to map your own decision intelligence roadmap: pinpointing your highest-value decisions, sequencing for quick wins, and building the internal business case for scale. Sessions from our partners EY, Deloitte, and Accenture add proven approaches for moving from pilots to autonomous operations, so each phase of your investment pays for the next.
3. Pre-arranged 1:1 networking on your chosen topics
Choose your conversations. A hand raised at a session gets thirty seconds, and some questions deserve more. With Braindate, new to AeraHUB this year, you post a topic you’re weighing or browse what others are asking, then book a one-on-one or small-group conversation with peers already solving the same problems you are.
Get a head start. Braindate is exclusive to attendees at Pier Sixty, and Braindate Ambassadors get early access to the topic market. Email [email protected] to become one.
4. The full AeraHUB experience, live and in person
Connect with the experts. Aera’s decision intelligence experts will be on hand to answer your questions face to face, and you can put your own questions to our product team in a live, on-stage Q&A. Our partners EY, Deloitte, Accenture, and ZS will be there too, ready to share best practices and the top use cases in your industry.
Explore live demos. See the latest Aera innovations up close, from agent teams and simulation to policy-driven decisions, and watch a decision agent go from idea to working Aera Skill, every step on screen.
Feel the energy. Hear Aera Co-Founder and CEO Fred Laluyaux, Harvard Business School professor Joseph Fuller, and leaders from global enterprises live; then keep the conversation going with peers between sessions and at the Day 1 networking reception.
5. A waterfront venue with skyline views and an elevated culinary experience
Soak in the views. Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers is one of New York City’s premier waterfront event spaces, with sweeping views of the Hudson River. It’s the kind of backdrop that makes big ideas feel a little more possible.
Savor the menu. Breakfast and lunch are served both days, and the Day 1 evening reception keeps the conversation going over drinks and fantastic food as the city lights come up across the river.
Your seat at the table
The shift to decision intelligence is already underway, and AeraHUB 26 is where you’ll see it, build it, and bring it home. Join us in person at Pier Sixty and learn firsthand how agentic decision intelligence can transform the way your business decides and acts.
