Still time to enter Learning Technologies Awards
Learning providers and teams have until 31 July to submit entries for the 2026 Learning Technologies Awards after organisers extended the deadline by one week.
The Learning Technologies Awards are an established programme recognising excellence in workplace learning and development. They celebrate learning initiatives, technologies and teams that have delivered measurable business impact across organisations in the UK and internationally.
This year's programme includes 25 categories covering learning technologies, artificial intelligence, blended learning, onboarding, learning platforms, learning teams, learning providers and workplace capability. Categories recognise both in-house learning functions and external suppliers, with awards for individual projects as well as longer-term innovation and achievement.
Entries are judged by an independent panel of learning and development practitioners, consultants and industry specialists. Judging considers evidence of business need, project design, implementation and measurable outcomes, with shortlisted entrants invited to present their work to the panel before the winners are selected.
The awards attract submissions from organisations of all sizes, including private sector employers, public sector bodies, charities, learning providers and technology vendors. Previous winners have ranged from global organisations delivering large-scale workforce transformation programmes to specialist providers developing new approaches to digital learning.
The shortlist will be published on 4 September. Final presentations to the judging panel will take place online later that month before winners are announced at the Learning Technologies Awards gala on 11 November.
