It felt like we had only just put the stand up... possibly because we had only four days earlier, but at 4 o'clock on Saturday it was time to take it all down and then reflect on our first year at BETT.
After a shaky start on Wednesday morning because of the snow, BETT seemed busier than ever. It's a tiring four days as an exhibitor - with lots of standing, and also trying to hear people over the general din but it was great to be able to meet many of the visitors, learn more about them and give them a live demonstration. Thankfully we didn't have any demo disasters over the four days which is a pretty good record.
BETT's also a great chance to meet other suppliers to the education market, and in particular it was good to meet the nearby RTS team who are well worth checking out for all manner of IT services - from digital signage to classroom AV to digital telephony and disaster recovery and more. Their technological knowledge and enthusiasm are a winning combination.
There are too many of you to thank individually but thanks to all those who came and saw us on our stand. Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions for next year...
With BETT now over, our next project is to overhaul our website, so watch this space. Anna's going to be in charge and I'm looking forward to it.
