Bett Brasil, the organizer of the largest Innovation and Technology for Education event in Latin America, has announced the educators selected for Bett Talks 2025, an initiative that highlights transformative and inspiring stories in education.

With its innovative format, Bett Talks promotes the sharing of ideas, practices, and experiences that have the power to inspire, challenge, and connect professionals in the education sector. Those selected will have the opportunity to present on stage at the 30th edition of Bett Brasil, which will take place from April 28 to May 1, 2025, at Expo Center Norte in São Paulo.

Divided into three categories—“Bett Talks ‘Ahead,’” “Managers’ Forum,” and “Inspiring Stories”—the initiative received more than 130 submissions from educators across Brazil, reaffirming the transformative role of education.

"Seeing the diversity of stories shared by educators and the impact that education has on people’s lives is the reason for this initiative’s success. Bett Talks is a showcase for experiences that challenge us to think beyond the ordinary and to recognize the power of education as an agent of social change," says Adriana Martinelli, Director of Content at Bett Brasil .
