The organisers of the Bett show in London have announced that following the rapid escalation of omicron cases across the UK and around the world, it is to postpone Bett 2022.
It was due to take place 19-21 January. It will now take place 23-25 March 2022, and will continue to take place at the ExCeL London.
In a statement released early on Monday 20 December, the organisers said; 'Our commitment to ensuring the wellbeing of our community necessitated the shift and we considered feedback from many of our exhibitors, sponsors, attendees and speakers, as well as the impact of changing travel restrictions globally. Our global partners Microsoft, BESA and the UK’s Department for Education are supportive of the change and the new show dates.
'Holding Bett in-person at the end of March presents an important opportunity for the education and technology community to come together to learn, trade and network and to look positively to the future of teaching and learning.
'If you have already registered to Bett your registration will automatically be transferred to the new dates. We will be in touch in the New Year to explain the next steps and to let you know more about the rescheduled event.'
