Bett UK 2027

Bett UK 2027 is the education technology trade show and conference held at ExCeL London from 20 to 22 January 2027. The 2026 edition drew over 37,000 members of the global education community, including 14,000 education decision makers, alongside more than 700 exhibitors from 130 countries. Content runs across nine theatres covering the Arena keynote stage, Teaching & Learning, Higher Education, Policy & Impact, Innovation, Classroom, SEND and Operational Transformation. The 2027 edition adds two: a Policy in Practice Theatre aimed at policymakers, researchers and education leaders, covering AI evidence in education, inclusion and skills development, and a Tech in Action theatre given over to live product demonstrations. Announced AI speakers include Professor Michael Wooldridge of the University of Oxford and Dr Ann Thanaraj, Head of AI Innovations at Teesside University.

For a trust CIO, university digital lead or education technology buyer, Bett compresses a year of procurement research into three days: 700+ exhibitors under one roof, 14,000 decision makers to compare notes with, and a policy strand that indicates what regulators and inspectorates will actually accept. The 2027 programme puts the AI question in front of both audiences at once — evidence and regulation in the new Policy in Practice Theatre, working deployments in the new Tech in Action theatre — so a leader can leave with a defensible institutional position on classroom AI, a shortlist of vendors seen side by side, and named peers already running what they are considering. Free entry for educators means the budget line is travel, not badges.
