The eighth annual FreightTech Awards will begin accepting nominations Monday, June 29. The $595 nomination fee qualifies companies for consideration, though an early-bird discount of $100 applies through Aug. 1 using promo code EARLYBIRD100. Both self-nominations and third-party submissions are permitted. An internal FreightWaves research team will vet submissions to identify the FreightTech 100 list, to be announced Sept. 30. An independent panel of roughly 80 judges—including industry CEOs, investors and logistics executives—will then rank the finalists. Judges will use a points-based system audited by accounting firm Henderson, Hutcherson & McCullough. The top 25 winners will be announced live at the inaugural F3: Future of Freight Festival Awards Dinner in October in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
