As every year since 1985, the BETT (British Educational Training and Technology) Show will be held in January from the 21st till the 24th at ExCeL Centre, in London.
This show is the opportunity for professionals, teachers and Undergraduate students to discover upcoming products and resources for everyday classes or even attend conferences.
It is also a unique opportunity for Computer Science BSc/BMeng students to get in touch with potential employers, since the BETT Show is a trade exhibition.
With more than 700 exhibitors, this show is more than 3x bigger than Educatec-Educatice (which critor and I attended), its French equivalent, and will last 4 days.
Textbook publishers such as MacMillan, Harper Collins, Pearson, Oxford and Cambridge University Press will be there. You might know some of them since they publish A-Levels and (i)GCSE textbooks.
I couldn't mention examinations without pointing out that AQA and OCR, both examination boards, will be exhibiting at stands E210 and B348!
Casio, one of the two most popular brands, will also be exhibiting. Sadly, no sign of Texas Instruments
However, HP, the 3rd uprising calculator manufacturer, will be there. You might be able to get your hands on their flagship HP-Prime, which is meant to be their answer to TI's Nspire CX and Casio's FX-CG20!
While the entrance is free if you registered online (and printed the badge), you will pay £30 if showing up without a badge (it's still free if you actually forgot/lost it).
21-24 January 2015, at ExCeL London.
Free entrance
