San Francisco, Calif., December 15, 2025—SweetRush, a global leader in innovative learning strategies, solutions, and technologies, is honored to be recognized by eLearning Industry with three AI Excellence Awards in the following areas:  

eLearning Industry created these lists to highlight L&D vendor-partners who are “transforming talent strategies, elevating performance, and proving that responsible, human-centered AI can scale across industries.” 

eLearning Industry Founder Christopher Pappas elaborates, “We focused on how [the vendors’] AI-powered learning solutions personalize development, automate workflows, improve decision-making, and drive measurable ROI for organizations navigating rapid change.” 

SweetRush embodies these criteria by applying its Transformational Design StandardsTM and AI learning design through context engineering to create impactful custom AI learning and skilling solutions that transform behavior. The team’s award-winning approach empowers its innovative client-partners to maximize skills development, achieve business success, and deliver outstanding ROI for their organizations.

Danielle Silver, SweetRush Solution Architect, shares, "It is incredibly exciting to witness this fundamental evolution of learning, where AI is transforming our ability to deliver personalized, impactful experiences that directly drive business outcomes. We are thrilled to be at the forefront of this AI-powered future."

As professionals increasingly leverage AI for a wide range of daily tasks, AI adoption is no longer a future prospect: It’s a part of our organizational landscape. Accordingly, L&D and talent leaders have moved beyond merely outsourcing rote tasks to AI and to leveraging it as a strategic and creative partner, offering enterprise-wide training on AI ethics, guidelines, and role-based usage at scale.

To answer this need, SweetRush has created The AI-L&D Continuum™, which provides a comprehensive resource center where L&D leaders can access leading-edge AI strategy and consulting services, digital transformation mapping, and support in creating a future-ready, skills-focused learning portfolio. 

Adrian Soto, SweetRush Director of AI and Immersive Technologies, adds, "It's an incredible honor to see the significant time and effort we've invested in understanding how to leverage AI in Learning and Development come to fruition in this way. We are delighted to share our journey and insights on using AI to create impactful and revolutionary experiences with both our clients and the wider LxD community."

As a technology-agnostic company, SweetRush is driven by each client-partner’s business, learning, and IT infrastructure and security needs, rather than a single product or platform. Pappas characterizes the team as a “strategic partner who cares,” delivering results “accelerated by its ‘unpromptable’ cultural values and relentless focus on ROI.” 

World-class client-partners like Hilton, Capgemini, Google, Coursera, Bayer, and Bridgestone trust the SweetRush team’s expertise in AI and immersive technologies, employee engagement, and learning science.

Known for its award-winning custom solutions, including immersive and AI-powered  learning and skilling solutions, SweetRush has been inspiring L&D leaders and stakeholders since its founding in 2001.
