Awards programme announced with 25 categories, including four new awards, and a July 2026 submission deadline.
Entries are now open for the Learning Technologies Awards 2026, offering organisations across the workplace learning sector the opportunity to showcase their work and gain industry recognition.
The awards celebrate excellence in learning technologies and are among the most established and recognised awards programmes in the global learning and development industry. The 2026 programme features 25 categories, including four new categories introduced for this year.
Open to organisations worldwide, the awards recognise achievement across the design, delivery and application of learning technologies in the private, public and third sectors. Finalists and winners are selected by an independent judging panel organised by the Learning Network.
Entry fees start from £180 plus VAT per individual entry. Organisations can register and pay for their chosen categories now and return later to complete their submissions. The deadline for entries and submissions is Friday 24 July 2026 at 17:00 BST.
The awards programme attracts entries from learning providers, technology companies and in-house learning teams from around the world. Recognition through the awards can help organisations raise their profile, showcase innovation and celebrate the achievements of teams and individuals.
‘Winning a Learning Technologies Award is a significant achievement and recognition of the work being done across the learning and development profession,’ said Mark Penton, organiser of the Learning Technologies Awards.
‘The awards attract entries from organisations of every size and from many countries. They provide an opportunity to benchmark work against some of the best learning technology projects and products in the industry.’
The shortlist will be announced on 4 September 2026, with shortlisted organisations invited to present to the judging panel online later that month.
Winners will be revealed at the Learning Technologies Awards gala celebration on 11 November 2026 at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel in London.
