Bett, the leading EdTech exhibition, will be collaborating with Learnit, a new conference for the global education system. It will take place on the same days as bett (23-26 Jan) in the evening at the QEII Centre in Westminster.
The Learnit community encompasses the entire learning ecosystem – from government, educators, corporates and established solution providers to tech startups, investors and media. It is united by a common goal to improve education outcomes globally.
Rachel Brodie, Portfolio Director of Bett said: “Learnit is where the global learning ecosystem goes for a conversation about the current state and future of learning. The significance and impact of both of these eventsis clear; they bring people together who believe education can change the world. That’s why we’re excited to welcome Learnit to London in the same week as Bett.”
Bett will continue to take place at the ExCeL Centre, in east London, welcoming visitors from 23-26 January 2019 and Learnit will take place in Westminster at the QEII Centre and Central Hall on the same days but in the evening. Visitors can register for Bett at www.bettshow.comand tickets for Learnit can be purchased at www.learnit.world.
