AhaSlides Wins 2026 Training Magazine Network Choice Award for Gamification & Game-Based Learning
The crowd-sourced award recognized AhaSlides for game-based learning as 2,207 voters cast 11,692 votes across 296 companies.
On September 29, 2026, Training magazine Editor/Publisher Lorri Freifeld announced that AhaSlides won the 2026 Training Magazine Network Choice Award in the Gamification and Game-Based Learning category.
The Training Magazine Network Choice Awards recognize solution providers rated by Learning and Development professionals, with 100,000+ members casting 11,692 votes for 296 companies between April 28 and June 30, 2026.
More than 4 million presenters across 142,000+ organizations use AhaSlides to reach 24 million+ participants, utilizing over 30 ready-made interactive activities for facilitation without extensive game design preparation.
CEO Dave Bui said the company focused this year on building "ready-made ways to play and compete," while engagement expert Kassy LaBorie noted the tool provides "incredibly creative ways to invite people into the experience."
With focused screen attention falling to around 47 seconds, the team is launching an "Escape Room" training game this month, following its success as the winning entry at the September 2026 hackathon.
