The Decision Science Summit 2026, hosted by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) in June 2026, unites the brightest minds in academia and the boldest innovators in business for four days of intensive learning, cross-sector collaboration, and celebration. Two parallel streams anchor the program: the International Summer Conference 2026 and the Corporate Stream for applied-AI and operations-research leaders. Signature experiences—including hands-on workshops, a Start-up Battle, and the Road to Summit Hackathon Finals—create a dynamic bridge between theory and practice. Keynotes from world-renowned thinkers, curated panels, and ample networking over gourmet buffets, barista-style coffee breaks, and an invitation-only Gala Dinner in historic Madrid guarantee impact, insight, and inspiration.

Set in the heart of Spain’s innovation corridor, UPM offers cutting-edge facilities and cultural vibrancy—an ideal backdrop for advancing AI-driven decision science.
