THE EVOLUTION OF BETT
Bett began in 1985 as the British Educational Training and Technology Show, a
small exhibition showcasing the earliest examples of technology designed for
the classroom. Back then, the promise of technology in education was still an
ambitious dream. A handful of clunky computers and interactive whiteboards
hinted at possibilities that were yet to be fully realised.
Fast forward to today, and Bett is the largest global gathering of educators
and innovators, a thriving community rooted in four decades of collaboration,
curiosity and shared purpose. With its flagship event in London and additional
gatherings in São Paulo, Brazil, and Malaysia, Bett has connected with
educators worldwide, positively impacting millions of learners along the way.
Over the years, Bett has become much more than a technology showcase.
It’s now a platform for exploring how innovation, and those driving it, can
genuinely improve teaching and learning. As we mark our 40th anniversary,
we celebrate not only the evolution of EdTech but also the educators who have
been at the heart of this change. Bett is, and will always be, about people: the
teachers shaping futures, the leaders setting bold visions and the innovators
crafting solutions to our most pressing challenges.
