BETT Show 2004 is a huge success!

20th February 2004

BETT is the annual international event that encourages and extends effective use of ICT in education. This year the exhibition ran from the 7th-10th January and was held at London’s prestigious Olympia hall. The show was a huge success, with a record 25,000 educational professionals attending, all eager to view and test the latest innovations in education technology.

With thousands of educational software, hardware, online, multimedia and IT support products and services on display, this event has become the only opportunity in the education calendar where people can establish the best products for their institution from the entire range of leading educational suppliers. Exhibitors included technology veterans such as Microsoft, Apple and Dell.

Videoconferencing had a strong representation at the show with industry giants Polycom and Tandberg both making an appearance. Visitors were given the opportunity to interact with the communications technology first hand. Some stands operated a timetable of live-link-ups to organisations such as schools, zoos and museums. Teachers, students and other educational professionals were introduced to the latest in videoconferencing technology including codecs, displays and applications.

The success of the show was cemented by the fact that 95% of the floor space had been re-booked by exhibitors for BETT 2005 by the end of the four days.
