2022 O’Reilly Awards

Showcase your organization’s standout O’Reilly moments

Was there ever a moment when you were implementing O’Reilly or putting the learning platform to work for your teams when you thought, “That’s so impressive we should get an award for it.” Well, now you can!

Welcome to the inaugural O’Reilly Awards. Join us to share that impressive O’Reilly moment with our panel of esteemed judges—and put it head-to-head with other organizations to see if it will, in fact, win you shining acclaim. Entering is easy, and winning comes with some nice perks that you’ll want to scroll down to discover.

To ensure you’re only going up against companies with resources similar to your own, each award category will be broken down by company size, with one winner each from a small, medium, and large organization, as determined by number of employees. You can enter a maximum of two categories.

Award categories

Most Effective User Onboarding Program

The judges are looking for interesting engagement strategies that quickly got users active on the platform, novel internal communications approaches, and other ideas that helped drive early adoption of O’Reilly within your organization.

Best in Skills Transformation

Maybe you’re migrating to the cloud, adopting AI, or ensuring security is baked into all of your products. Tell us about how your team leveraged O’Reilly en masse to drive a skills transformation across your organization. How did you engage your teams, how did O’Reilly help, and what was the end result?

Interactive Learning Champion

We’re strong believers that the most effective learning is done by doing. That’s why we introduced interactive learning in 2019. Share how your teams built skills in a hands-on manner using scenarios, sandboxes, and labs. How have you driven adoption, and what were the outcomes?

O’Reilly’s Choice

We know everyone likely has a very different approach to learning within their organization. So for the coveted O’Reilly’s Choice award, the judges are looking for interesting stories about leveraging the learning platform in innovative ways that helped drive material business outcomes.
