The 2026 conference theme, <em>Future of Decision Sciences: Complexity, Innovation, Sustainability<\/em>, encouraged students to reflect on and examine how the field of data science is evolving and how it can address today&#8217;s organizational and societal challenges. The attending students took part in the conference as well, attending workshops and panel discussions, which offered a great opportunity for professional development and networking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CUSB students developed their own topics and presented some fascinating research:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201c<em>Analyzing Customer Response Patterns to Optimize Bank Marketing Strategies<\/em>,\u201d presented by: Kamiza Brown, Esther Bagombeka, Farai Ngwarati, and Tanatswa Hwindingwi.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul

Wan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m incredibly proud to see these students&#8217; hard work rewarded with the opportunity to present their research at NEDSI,\u201d business school dean, Dr.
