Best Innovation - This award is for the most innovative concept or idea that is presented at the Symposium. It is to encourage authors to bring new ideas to the table and not be worried about presenting different approaches to running an airline. The recipient of this award does not have to present a "fully cooked" idea with complete results from an implementation in production. They may present a concept with some preliminary findings and outline how they feel the concept will push the discipline forward or how airlines might use the idea to improve their operations.

Best Technical - This award goes to the authors that present the best "technical contribution" at the conference. This can be an idea that the authors have fully vetted out the technical aspects of the project and have implemented it or are in the process of implementing the idea. For academic presentations, the authors should have worked through the mathematical concepts and have at least example results within their presentation.

Best Presentation - This award goes to the author(s) that present the best overall presentation that provides a new vision or a new direction for the airlines to pursue. This should not be for the paper that gets the most laughs. A good example of this is Leon Kinloch's paper on “Why O&D Doesn't Work.” His talk wasn't arguing that O&D revenue management is wrong, he was pointing out that our reservation systems were ill equipped to handle O&D controls properly and it was costing the carriers money. It got people thinking about all the holes in our mainframe reservation systems and the revenue leakage we were exposed to.
