BETT 2009 launches this week
BETT Show 2009 Opens
The prestigious BETT Show 2009 opens later this week, and will be celebrating it’s 25th birthday.
The event is topped to be one of the best yet, with many supplier’s, organisations & government departments launching or previewing new products, services and initiatives.
This year BETT are hailing ‘learning elsewhere’ as their main feature, focussing on mobile, remote and distance learning and showcasing products and services that can support and enhance it. This includes a range hardware and mobile devices as well as digital content and software.
Other highlights include the vast array or seminars being laid on, which appeal to many, meaning they get a much more ‘enhanced’ experience and can justify the day-out a little bit more. The seminar programme has also been improved based on how well recieved they have been in recent year’s at the SLF (Scottish Learning Festival). The traditional software & special needs zone’s are also back as well as a ‘Future Schools’ mini-zone with information & idea’s for those that are already, or are soon to be involved in the BSF and Primary Capital Programmes.
Notably, Apple UK are not exhibiting at this year’s event, despite other big players, including RM & Mircosoft being present. Their reason being that they feel there are better ways for them to communicate with their customers. That said, it will be interesting to see if after this year’s show, others follow suit.
All in all, it’s set to be a good show, and we hope it lives up to expectations.
