Presenters from airlines, software vendors, consulting firms and academia present their work in airline operations, strategy, cargo logistics, crew scheduling, e-commerce, information technology, revenue management and more to their peers. At the end of each symposium, the best papers and presentations are recognized by the attendees’ votes.
