SIIA’s Education Division is headed to London to participate in BETT Show, the leading international education technology showcase. This will mark the third straight year of SIIA’s participation in BETT and the second year that SIIA will host an Ed Tech Pavilion for its members.
SIIA’s Ed Tech Pavilion highlights free materials for educators on a variety of topics, including games, personalized learning, copyright, and Vision K‐20. The Pavilion also focuses on products and services offered by member companies, including McGraw‐Hill Education, Waterford Institute, SkillsTutor, Polyvision, The Renaissance Network, RedRock Reports, Pegeen Wright & Associates, and edWeb.net.
In addition, SIIA will host a members‐only breakfast featuring Ray Barker, director of the British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA), who will answer questions about the UK education market.
BETT 2012 will be held January 11‐14 in Olympia, London, attracting more than 600 educational suppliers and around 30,000 visitors. The show has distinguished itself as the world’s leading event for educational technology, where education professionals can evaluate and purchase a comprehensive range of ICT products and services. From pre‐kindergarten to university levels, BETT is an indispensable part of the annual knowledge‐gathering process, coming at a time when educational institutions are planning and budgeting for the new school year.
