Over November 15-16, 2017, 1,700+ education policy-makers, leaders and experts from 40+ countries will once again come to discuss the transformation of education and to discover the innovation that will inspire change. At the two-day Bett Asia Leadership Summit and Expo, the latest trends, challenges and advancements in education and technology will be addressed, with a distinct focus on Asia Pacific.
How is Bett Asia working to usher in better practices in education?
At Bett we believe in creating a better future by transforming education. Our mission is to bring together people, ideas, practices and technologies so that educators and learners can fulfil their potential. It is that mission statement that is the foundation of all Bett events, and Bett Asia is no exception. In bringing together Asia’s education community – the leading minds, the latest edtech innovations, and dedicated educators, we can help facilitate the transfer of knowledge, of training and of best practice.
At Bett Asia we enable this ‘transfer’ across several different CPD-accredited platforms, to ensure tangible takeaways for all sectors of education. From the Leadership Summit where decision-makers from government, schools and universities have a chance to discuss forthcoming policy and cutting-edge edtech strategy, to our Learn Live programme where practical tips and tricks are showcased for educators to take back to their classrooms. Alongside our Expo, targeted streams of workshops and seminars for Teachers and School Leaders hosted by leading partners including Microsoft and Education Changemakers bring the very latest thinking and practices in Edtech to life.
Outside of the seminars and workshops we create multiple networking opportunities to help forge connections and encourage discussion. From welcome receptions, to working lunches to a 1-2-1 meeting platform, Bett Asia champions the sharing of ideas.
We know that seeing better practices in action is the most impactful way to inspire change, and for 2017 Bett Asia will be hosting its first School Tour with the renowned Nexus International School, giving international attendees a unique opportunity to experience a leading Malaysian school first-hand.
Bett Asia also celebrates brave thinking and innovation with the Bett Asia Awards. With categories open to solution providers and educators, we’re putting the best in class products, practices and policies on stage.

What would be the key learning for educators at Bett Asia 2017?
In recognition of the 50th year of ASEAN, Bett Asia 2017 is celebrating the power of partnership with the theme ‘Cultivating Global Collaboration in Education’. We’re putting a spotlight on the collaborations that are truly enabling educational excellence and improving learning outcomes – from government-to-government, institution-to-industry, public-to-private and institution-to-institution – Bett Asia 2017 is bringing a line-up of the very best examples.
Through a cutting-edge programme Bett Asia 2017 will show how partnerships are helping to move the needle on critical opportunities for education transformation, from STEM Education to Teacher Training, from Assessment to VR.
It is in the spirit of partnership that for Bett Asia 2017 we are going a step further to help educators not only learn about the importance of partnership, but importantly to takeaway new contacts with the launch of the Connect@Bett platform and lounge. This facilitated networking space pre-event and onsite will help attendees find the peers, partners and providers that can make a difference based on their goals and objectives.
