LapSafe® Brings Innovative EdTech to Bett UK 2026

Bett UK is fast approaching, and we’re thrilled to be returning to ExCeL London for the world’s largest gathering of EdTech professionals. From 21–23 January 2026, thousands of educators, leaders, and innovators will come together to explore the technology shaping the future of teaching and learning, and we’re excited to be involved for our 26th year.

We’ll be presenting our award-winning range of storage and charging solutions, including our intelligent Smart Lockers, robust trolleys, and secure cabinets. Each solution is designed to automate the loaning of charged devices 24/7, allowing students to access the tech they need without staff involvement. Our systems also support learners who prefer to bring their own devices, making device access more flexible than ever.

A demo at the World’s First AI-Powered Smart Locker

One of the biggest highlights of Bett 2026 will be the first public showcase of our AI-powered Smart Locker, a world first. Launched earlier this year, this groundbreaking feature has been developed to streamline workflows and increase operational efficiency across campuses. The integrated AI technology delivers advanced content verification, intelligent automation, and smooth system integration. Whether managing devices, processing returns, enabling secure drop-off and collection, or simply reducing administrative overheads, this new capability opens the door to more efficient and user-friendly services.
