Computational intelligence is transforming various sectors with unprecedented velocity, and its influence is particularly profound in the domains of management and finance. The integration of sophisticated algorithms, machine learning techniques, and intelligent systems into decision-making processes has revolutionized the way organizations manage resources, analyze risks, and drive growth. At the heart of this transformation lies computational finance, a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field born from the convergence of computational intelligence and financial theory. It empowers decision-makers with advanced tools for predictive analytics, algorithmic trading, risk assessment, and strategic management.

The CFBA (Computational Finance and Business Analytics) conference has emerged as a vital conduit for this convergence, offering a dynamic platform for the exchange of novel research and real-world applications. With CFBA-2026, the focus intensifies on fostering impactful dialogue and innovation in both theoretical and applied domains. The conference aims to highlight the fusion of management principles with computational intelligence, addressing complex real-world challenges through data-driven and algorithmic approaches. By facilitating the presentation of such diverse contributions, CFBA-2026 seeks to become a premier global forum that brings together renowned scholars, early-career researchers, industry practitioners, data scientists, and policy influencers. The conference is designed to spark collaborative initiatives, cross-disciplinary engagements, and meaningful networking opportunities that extend beyond the duration of the event.

Moreover, CFBA-2026 is committed to advancing the real-world impact of computational intelligence by encouraging submissions that demonstrate measurable outcomes, applied value, and innovative business models. The sessions will include keynotes from world-leading experts, paper presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and hands-on demos, all aimed at exploring the latest trends, challenges, and future directions of computational finance and business analytics. In essence, CFBA-2026 will serve not just as a gathering of minds, but as a Launchpad for collaborative discovery, a catalyst for technological innovation, and a bridge between academia and industry. Through knowledge-sharing and dialogue, the conference aims to chart the future course of management science in an era defined by computational intelligence.
