Minneapolis, MN – September 29, 2026 – Training magazine proudly announces the winners of the 2026 Training Magazine Network Choice Awards. This program is the only crowd-sourced solution provider awards in the Learning and Development (L&D) industry, as voted on by customers, learners, end-users, and thought leaders. Training once again invited the 100,000-plus active, engaged, and vocal members of its interactive social learning community, Training Magazine Network (TMN), to cast their votes for the training providers they believe offer the most effective tools, solutions, and services for their work. This year, the Immersive & Spatial Learning Technologies category was added to the awards categories:
- Authoring & Learning Design Tools
- Custom Content Development
- Gamification and Game-Based Learning
- Immersive & Spatial Learning Technologies
- Leadership Development
- LMS
- Measurement & Assessment
An alphabetical list of winners in each of the seven categories was compiled based on Training and TMN’s own industry data and research and included solution providers that both have and have not done business or partnered with Training and its affiliates. Voters also could enter a preferred product, service, or solution that was not on the list.
The voting was held online from April 28 to June 30, 2026. Some 11,692 votes were cast by 2,207 unique respondents for 296 companies.
Participants could submit a survey ballot in as many of the seven categories as were applicable to them, but only one ballot per voter per category was permitted; multiple employees from the same company were permitted to vote. Winners were determined by a combination of the total number of votes received and an average weighted score based on effectiveness. Because of this determination, there is not a set number of winners per category.
“We congratulate these outstanding training solution providers for their exceptional customer service and innovative approaches—and for leading the way in advancing modern training,” said Training magazine Editor/Publisher Lorri Freifeld. “Their dedication to excellence inspires the industry and drives the future of learning and development.”
