Bett is the global community for education technology: We spark ideas, create connections and accelerate trade, driving impact and improving outcomes for teachers and learners.
For the first time since the beginning of 2020, Bett returns to the ExCeL London on 19-21 January 2022 to reunite the global education community in person.

Driving long-term action for the global education community

In the past year and a half, we’ve seen the education community demonstrate true resilience and resourcefulness in the face of ongoing disruption.

Bett’s year-round digital offering provided a platform for the education community to share best practice and learnings from responding to the pandemic, driving the belief that #LearningNeverStops. Looking forwards, however, schools and institutions are moving beyond crisis response with the aim to turn lessons learned into sustainable, long-term action. At a strategic systems level, what can be retained, developed, and/or streamlined? At a practitioner level, educators are in a unique position to build beyond their huge initial upskilling in digital literacy and focus on developing their students’ social-emotional skills, for example.

Bett & You: Introducing the Bett audience

Creating the future

When challenged with exceptional, unprecedented problems and barriers to learning during this time of disruption, it has been vital for educators to think outside the box and solve problems creatively.

Armed with more EdTech solutions and resources than ever before, educators have the opportunity to reimagine traditional models of pedagogy so that students can plug into a personalized, future-facing learning experience and become resilient, creative lifelong learners who can harness their knowledge and skills to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

Informed by conversations with our audience, six global themes structure the three full days of content at Bett 2022 – leading to the overarching theme Create the future – ensuring that education stakeholders worldwide can address their most pressing challenges and priorities.

Content destinations at Bett 2022
