And it’s back! After a two year break BETT is once more gracing the grand halls of ExCel London from the 22nd to the 25th March.
Here you will be able to view and play with the latest and greatest in the world of educational IT and meet with the top suppliers and innovators in the sector.
As always, we shall be there on stand SB41 with ICT Direct to see you all and catch up with what has been happening in your worlds.
As many of you know, the show has been delayed since its original date in late January but with it’s new dates will be very strange for many of us who are used to turning up just as it’s getting light and leaving in the winter darkness. This year though it will be quite a change and the weather (at the time of writing this) promises to be very nice for the time of year, so we are very much looking forwards to this.
As some of you will already be aware, the show will be over only three days this year (no Saturday) and the hours have changed as well:
- Wednesday: 10:00 – 18:00
- Thursday: 10:00 – 20:00
- Friday: 10:00 – 17:00
If you haven't got your ticket, you can register for free here - https://uk.bettshow.com/visitor-registration
Raffle
As per usual, we shall be holding a raffle and the following prizes will be up for anyone who comes to the stand for a chat.
- RGB Mechanical gaming keyboard
- Headphones/wireless ear buds
- And more!
Pizza
If you have been to BETT before, you will know that we usually put on pizza at lunchtime to feed you all. However, we can’t, as of yet, confirm we can do this due to potential restrictions within ExCel. We shall keep you posted!
