The LWF Awards celebrate international innovators and innovations where mobile, video games, social media, open source & other disruptive technologies have been used to radically improve learning. The event has become an accurate barometer putting the spotlight on the real stars who are taking the lead with new approaches to learning. An awards event that's more about the people than the products.
The LWF Awards is part of the LWF Festival of Learning & Technology.
drinks reception by BrainPOPIt's a serious awards event that, unfettered by clumsy sponsorships, doesn't take itself too seriously. No dinner jackets, no boring speeches about products you've never heard of, no rubber chicken meal or eye-watering bar prices. Just a great informal party atmosphere ideal for socialising, networking and enjoying the company of fellow innovators. But don't let that stop you glamming it up in your best party gear!
Nominations for the awards were made by the public from which our esteemed judges produced a short list of finalists that were voted on by the general public via SMS. The winners were announced at the Awards Party.
