Learning Excellence Awards 2023 | Stratford Projects Limited | 31 October 2022 | The Imperial Suite - The National Conference Centre, Coventry Rd, Bickenhill, Hampton in Arden, Solihull B92 0EJ, UK

The Learning Excellence Awards continued to exhilarate. The calibre of entries is high; the diversity of entries is exciting; the breadth of companies submitting entries is inspiring; and the global appeal is greater than originally thought, with entries from as far afield as India, Australia, the USA and Germany, as well as closer to home.

For 2023, we are changing things a little, based on findings of research among entrants and attendees of the Awards. The celebration of the Awards on March 31 will take place at an evening event in the Imperial Suite at the National Conference Centre, B92 0EJ. This should add to the entertainment level of the occasion and offer a more relaxed “after work” atmosphere to enjoy.
