The purpose of the awards programme is to

• advance recognition of the impact that learning and development have on organisational success;
• distinguish and acknowledge the impact that talented learning professionals have in cultivating and strengthening organisational capability;
• recognise the effectiveness, benefits, and impact that learning technologies have in the modern learning organisation.

The Awards are open to any individual, team, or organisation operating in an Asia-Pacific country that has implemented or released a learning solution since 2011.

A "team" is defined as any group that's come together for the specific purpose of undertaking and completing a project. The team members can be from one or multiple organisations.

The LearnX conference is being held on 29 - 30 August 2012 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
