About the Award
FreightWaves is thrilled to announce the AI Excellence in Supply Chain Award, to be presented live at our Supply Chain AI Symposium in Chicago, IL, on July 15, 2026. This prestigious award honors the innovators leveraging AI to transform operations, drive efficiency, improve visibility, and advance sustainability across the logistics industry.
Award Categories
To recognize excellence across the entire ecosystem, we have structured this year's awards into two distinct categories. Select the track that best fits your innovation.
This category honors the technology vendors, software developers, and creators building cutting-edge AI tools for the industry. If you have developed an AI-powered platform, software, or standalone system designed to help logistics companies optimize their supply chains, this is your stage.
This category recognizes logistics service providers, carriers, freight forwarders, 3PLs, and shippers who have successfully adopted, integrated, or custom-built AI into their own internal operations — driving real-world efficiency, smarter decision-making, and bottom-line results.

Award Criteria
Nominees will be evaluated by an expert panel against three core dimensions.
Is your AI application groundbreaking or pushing the boundaries of what's possible? We're looking for solutions that fundamentally reimagine how the supply chain works.
Does it demonstrably improve supply chain efficiency, drive cost savings, or increase resilience? Results and measurable outcomes matter.
Has it made a measurable, positive difference for your clients or your internal operations? Real-world transformation is at the heart of this award.
