One of the new features of Bett Brasil 2027 is the expansion of the Bett Congress, which will now include discussions on higher and vocational education, in addition to topics related to basic education.  

The initiative is in line with the goal of expanding dialogue among the different levels of education, creating opportunities for institutions, leaders, companies, governments, and experts to share experiences and discuss common challenges in education.

The proposal is to preserve the unique characteristics of each segment while also fostering dialogue on topics that cut across different educational contexts, such as learning, management, professional development, technology, and relationships with the world of work.

Bett Brasil, considered the largest event on Innovation and Technology in Education in Latin America, will be held May 4–7, 2027, at Expo Center Norte in São Paulo. One of the event’s initiatives, the Bett Congress, will be guided by the theme “Courage to Transform,” which invites reflection on how to understand the changes taking place in education and define ways to respond to them.
