Join us for an afternoon of excellence where we will share with and learn from some of the best in our learning community. This year, we’re taking this show on the road! Over the past 20 years, we’ve learned and grown together with our clients and partners. On this special anniversary, we are going to take you on a journey through the years and around the world!
20 years of aNewSpring!
20 years of growth!
The aNewSpring Awards is an annual event in which the top Learning Journeys of the Year are celebrated by fellow aNewSpring-users.
Since 2017 aNewSpring has organised yearly Awards for all users of our platform. Over time different companies rose to the challenge and the crème de la crème were selected by a jury of their peers…
As the 2023 edition of The aNewSpring Awards approaches, we’re reminded of the incredible milestone we’re reaching: 20 years of aNewSpring! Throughout the years, we see our community growing and expanding, so we thought it would fit to also expand the categories.
This year, members of our learning community can be nominated in two categories:
- The Most Impactful Learning Journey
- The Best Learner Experience
Learn all about the upcoming edition
The aNewSpring Awards 2023 are open for visitors, learning pioneers and nominees!

All nominees will be assessed by an experienced team of judges. This assessment process starts with your submission. All submissions of the candidates in each category will be shown to two different panels of judges. Once scores are tallied, the Top 10 will be identified and issued a badge which can be used on social media.
In each category, the Top 3 will be announced one week later.
Congratulations, you’re a finalist!
On Awards night, you will take your rightful place on the main stage (or on-screen) during the awards show and present your amazing learning journey. Following public voting, the winners of The Most Impactful Learning Journey and The Best Learning Experience will be announced!
Once you sign up, you will receive an email to complete your application and send in the necessary parts we need to start reviewing your learning journey.
This year we offer you two ways to submit your application:
- Send us a short pitch video
addressing the criteria in the category you have selected - Alternatively, you can submit a full presentation (PPT/Google Slides)
sharing how your learning journey aces all the criteria in your chosen category

aNewSpring users and customers worldwide, current and former, members and friends of the aNewSpring family, and everyone else that works with the aNewSpring learning platform or is interested in seeing the best examples of learning journeys.Online ánd at the beautiful Arminius church in our hometown of Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

The 2022 edition of the aNewSpring Awards promises to be the biggest yet. The live show is accessible online from all over the world, and true aNewSpring aficionado’s can also join in-person in Rotterdam.
Curious who will be competing for the title of Most Inspiring Learning Journey of 2022?
Before we announce our three finalists, we would like to shine a light on the other phenomenal candidates who were on the shortlist:
AcademySuite (🇳🇱 ), Cranfield Aviation Training (🇿🇦 ), Dagelijks Leven (🇳🇱 ), Gemeente Almere (🇳🇱 ), Inzicht in orde (🇳🇱 ), KPE Groep (🇳🇱 ), Lean2Succes (🇳🇱 ), NIVOO Opleidingen (🇳🇱 ), Pink Elephant EMEA (🇬🇧), Propellor – Changing Projects (🇧🇪 ), TPT Consultancy & Training Ltd (🇬🇧 ), De VerkeersAcademie (🇳🇱 ), World Wide Industrial and Systems Engineers (WWISE) (🇿🇦 )
The three candidates who have reached the final are…
Is it online or in-person? Both!
It has been decided; we are going hybrid. That means combining the online and ‘offline’ parts into one and the same (fantastic) show. You can either take part virtually from behind your laptop at home or in-person at the Arminius church in the center of Rotterdam. Whatever you choose, you will be part of the same live program. This way, people from all over the world can join via whatever form they prefer. Blended, baby!
How does that work with registration?
We’re making it as simple as possible. Do you want to join in Rotterdam? Tick the box for joining in-person. Do you want to join online? Leave the box unticked. Don’t worry, you can always switch your preference. Plus: everyone that signs up, also those that want to be there in-person, will get access to the online event. One thing to keep in mind: there are only limited seats in-person.
What is it like to attend the aNewSpring Awards?
Imagine filling an Olympic sized pool with nothing but aNewSpring and you would jump right into it..! Yes yes, I know what you are thinking and no, I have no clue either what that would look like. Are there content parts, activities and templates swimming around like fish-type thingies? Are there bits and bytes floating in it? Do they even float? Does it smell like spring? Is it blue..?
Of course, this is just an (weird) attempt to explain what fully immersing yourself in the aNewSpring Awards experience would be like. Wait! Maybe it is more like an aNewSpring theme park! Yes, Memotrainer-rollercoaster…! Sorry sorry, I am getting carried away. You get the idea.
The aNewSpring Awards is the place to be for everyone that works with the platform and we hope to show that we are much more than software.
