Learning NewsLPI (Learning and Performance Institute)

Celebrating Excellence in the Learning and Development Sector

 

Over 800 international guests from the workplace learning and development sector convened in London on February 22nd for the 28th annual Learning Awards. 

Organised and hosted exclusively by the LPI, the Learning Awards is widely recognised as the premier awards ceremony in the L&D sector. 

Presented by British TV and radio personality Claudia Winkleman at the esteemed JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, the ceremony honoured the human success stories of innovation and achievement in workplace learning and development. 

With submissions from 56 countries, the 2024 awards saw the highest number of entries to date. A panel of 64 industry leaders served as independent judges, meticulously evaluating the submissions to determine the finalists and eventual winners. 

The evening began with an opening address from the LPI’s Chief Executive Officer, Edmund Monk, followed by the LPI Charity Auction in support of Dreamflight. Dreamflight is a UK charity dedicated to taking seriously ill or disabled children to Disneyland Florida each year. The LPI has been a longstanding supporter of Dreamflight, raising significant funds through its collaboration with the charity and the L&D industry. 

Headline of the 28th Annual Learning Awards is Rise Up.
