Step 4—Voting, Awards and Winner

Only the most innovative and exciting technology-based solutions will make the cut.

Selected innovators are organized into three categories for voting purposes:

• Startups: companies less than 18 months old
• Emerging: companies in early growth phase, 18-36 months old
• Established: companies 3 years or older launching new, innovative solutions

With hand-held, interactive voting devices, the audience critically assesses each demonstrator on:

• Level of technical innovation
• Business value of the innovation
• Potential effect on the marketplace

The four finalists and three runners-up with the highest audience scores—from each of the three categories—advance to the next round during Center Stage@The PhoCusWright Conference. The four finalists each have Five Minutes of Fame to describe their innovation and convince a blue ribbon panel of judges that they will be a notable success. The “PhoCusWright Travel Innovation Summit Winner” is announced at the conclusion of the conference. Three runners-up companies will also have five minutes to address the Center Stage@The PhoCusWright Conference audience, but will not be eligible for consideration in the "PhoCusWright Travel Innovation Summit Winner" judging.
