Learning Technologies Awards 2026 Opens for Entries

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.

"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 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.
