VERDICT

Should I use Bett UK?

20-22 January 2027 - uk.bettshow.com

Depends. Buy a ticket if you make edtech purchasing decisions for a school, MAT, or sell into education. Individual teachers and small teams without a buying mandate or travel budget should stay home.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources; mostly official pages and trade coverage, few independent reviews.

Gotchas - check before you buy

£325 early bird expires fast; standard £475 — a £150 penalty for hesitating.

London accommodation and travel often exceed the ticket price.

Floor is huge; without pre-booked meetings you collect brochures, not decisions.
