Professional visitors have access to the convention centre from 10:00 am until 18:00 pm on the first three days, while the last day has reduced hours to 15:00 pm. BETT enjoys such incredible popularity for its pioneering nature as the platform where the newest innovations and concepts are introduced to the public. Not to mention the rich support program.
We have mentioned innovations, but what is the product profile at BETT? Trade visitors have direct access to the entire value chain starting with the basics (e-books, AV and projection, screens and distance learning) to cutting-edge products (3D printers, teaching aids, learning spaces, VLE, AI as well as educational software). The digitalization of education has attracted massive tech giants to London such as The Dutch School BBC, Dell, Channel 4 Learning, Google, Microsoft, O2, Rapid Electronics and Adobe Systems. That is far from the complete list!
