Less Than a Week Until Bett UK 2026

Bett UK is just around the corner, 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. This year marks our 26th consecutive appearance, and we couldn’t be more excited.

Showcasing Award-Winning Solutions

We’ll be presenting our industry-leading range of Smart Lockers and Charging Solutions, including:

  • Intelligent Smart Lockers
  • Robust Charging Trolleys & Cabinets
  • Smart Peripheral Vending Machine

Each solution is designed to automate device loaning 24/7, giving students instant access to charged devices without staff involvement. Our systems also support Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategies, making device access more flexible than ever.

Experience 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 true world first.

With integrated AI technology, the Smart Locker delivers advanced content verification, intelligent automation, and seamless system integration. Whether managing devices, processing returns, or enabling secure drop-off and collection, this feature sets a new standard for campus efficiency.

Introducing Smart-V™: Smart Vending for Modern Campuses

We’re also unveiling Smart-V™, our new self-service smart vending machine. This solution provides automated, monitored distribution of IT peripherals, ensuring students and staff have instant access to essential equipment whenever they need it, helping institutions reduce downtime and keep learning uninterrupted.

The Power Behind the System: ONARKEN®

At the heart of our Smart Locker is ONARKEN®, our secure, cloud-based management platform. Fully customisable, ONARKEN® supports:

  • Automated device loaning
