Reveals New Research; Highlights Outcomes from The Hershey Company, Gallo, AstraZeneca, and WGU; and Unveils the Next Wave of Agentic AI Innovation

Aera Technology, the decision intelligence leader, today announced AeraHUB 25 NYC, its annual global summit taking place on November 4, 2025, on site at the Times Center in New York City and virtually to a worldwide audience. The flagship event will bring together executives from leading brands for a day of insights, customer stories, and live demonstrations that will showcase the impact of agentic decision intelligence on enterprise operations and performance.

Decision intelligence has reached a critical turning point — moving beyond pilots to enterprise-scale deployment. By delivering fast, measurable outcomes, it is redefining how organizations operate, compete, and prepare for the future.

This transformation will take center stage at AeraHUB 25 NYC, where industry innovators and visionaries will share how digital decision-making is reshaping enterprise performance and the future of work. From freeing working capital and reducing inventory risk to improving service levels, responsiveness, and sustainability, decision-makers at every level are unlocking value.

Attendees will also gain an exclusive first look at new global research on decision intelligence adoption and scaling, and experience a live demonstration of how Aera — the first decision intelligence agent — builds, deploys, and scales agentic skills that learn, adapt, and act in real time.

Aera Technology pioneered the field of decision intelligence with the launch of Aera and the software platform that powers it, Aera Decision Cloud™. The company continues to lead this product category, helping global enterprises achieve fully connected, intelligent operations that drive efficiency, resilience, and growth.
