For forty years, BETT has been more than just an event—it’s a dynamic platform where educators come together, inspired by a shared goal: to create learning environments that reflect the evolving needs of students and the world. From introducing groundbreaking tech tools to exploring the latest classroom strategies, BETT remains a key gathering for any educator passionate about driving change.

Why BETT Matters for Educators
For educators, BETT offers a unique experience that directly influences classroom practice and institutional strategy. It’s a place where the theory of education meets practical innovation, a place where educators can see and engage with solutions that transform classroom environments and support student-centered learning. BETT’s hands-on approach empowers educators to:
1. Discover Tailored EdTech Solutions
BETT brings together global education leaders and emerging startups, offering a range of EdTech tools to suit diverse classroom needs. For teachers, this means discovering tools that make teaching more engaging and efficient. From interactive learning aids to administrative support, the exhibits provide resources to address challenges specific to each classroom, allowing teachers to focus more on fostering students’ growth.
2. Engage in Collaborative Learning
BETT’s 2025 edition emphasizes peer-to-peer learning and connection with over 30,000 educators attending. Through six immersive stages, educators gain access to CPD (Continuing Professional Development)-accredited sessions tailored to diverse specializations. Educators can share insights, troubleshoot common issues, and build networks that can support ongoing professional growth long after the event.
3. Gain Insights into the Future of Learning
BETT has always been forward-thinking, but this year’s focus on AI and digital transformation brings a new layer of insight. Dan Fitzpatrick, author ofThe AI Classroom, returns to discuss AI integration in education—a topic more relevant than ever as AI becomes a staple in classrooms globally. For educators, sessions like these are opportunities to understand how new technology, like AI, can be practically applied in everyday teaching.
4. Celebrate Innovation and Impact
A standout feature of BETT is its commitment to recognizing emerging EdTech innovations through events like the Global EdTech Startup Awards (GESAwards). This year’s live pitches will showcase the world’s best EdTech startups, giving educators a first look at cutting-edge tools designed to solve real-world challenges in education.
5. Addressing International Education Challenges
Global challenges, including the digital experience of international students, will also be tackled. Elizabeth from Jisc will lead a thought-provoking session on international students’ digital needs, ensuring institutions are equipped to meet the diverse digital challenges of a global student base. Her session highlights the importance of inclusivity and adaptability in digital learning.
