Winners of The Learning Awards 2023 Announced
London (UK), February 2023 - Over 800 international guests from the workplace learning and development sector gathered in London to celebrate the 27th annual Learning Awards. Designed and hosted exclusively by the LPI, the Learning Awards is widely considered the L&D sector's premier awards ceremony.
Presented by British TV and radio icon Claudia Winkleman at the iconic JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, the awards ceremony celebrated the human success stories of innovation and achievement in workplace learning and development.
Continuing its upward trend, the 2023 awards received its highest-ever number of submissions, with entries from 56 countries. Fifty-four industry leaders formed the independent judging panel, which meticulously reviewed the hundreds of submissions to select the finalists and ultimate winners.
Following an opening address from the LPI's Chief Executive Officer, Edmund Monk, the evening commenced with the LPI Charity Auction in aid of Dreamflight, a UK Charity that takes seriously ill or disabled children to Disneyland Florida each year. The LPI is a long-term supporter of Dreamflight, having raised thousands of pounds through its work with the charity and the L&D industry.
