KMWorld Readers' Choice Award Winners 2026

Technology, for KMers, presents many impressive tools to aid us in our mission. We don’t do technology for the sake of technology, although some of us do enjoy tinkering with the possibilities inherent in, say, each new language model from the AI technology companies. It is also incumbent upon KMers to test out what our vendors are doing to use AI in their products. Two questions are paramount: Does the new version of a product work as intended? And does it actually match up with what we need to accomplish in our individual work situations?

We recognize that one winner in each category does not adequately reflect the full spectrum of potentially valuable companies’ contributions. Thus, we expand on what you, the Readers’ Choice voters, told us about companies in each of the 18 categories. In this issue of KMWorld, you’ ll also see a supplementary list we’re calling the Leader Group, which showcases the broader landscape of exceptional KM solutions available to organizations today. So much excellent work is being done, and done quickly, given the rapid changes in technology.
