Central Theme

The central theme of Bett Brasil 2026 is “Individual, Collective, and Artificial Intelligences: All Within Us, Right Now! When They Engage in Dialogue, Education Is Transformed.”

The proposal is to broaden the discussion on how different forms of intelligence can coexist, complement one another, and have a positive impact on teaching and learning processes.

The agenda will be structured around four pillars: InteliGENTE, dedicated to individual intelligences; HumaNÓS, focused on collective intelligences; InteligêncIA, focused on artificial intelligence; and Diálogos de Inteligências, which integrates all these dimensions into everyday educational life.

The content will be organized into auditoriums and thematic forums: the Basic Education Congress, the Administrators’ Forum, the Ahead by Bett Forum—dedicated to higher and vocational education—as well as the Startups Arena, the Public Education Auditorium, the AI Summit, and workshop rooms focused on teaching practices and topics related to basic education.

At the same time, the Bett Brasil exhibition area will bring together more than 330 national and international brands, showcasing solutions, technologies, and services geared toward the education sector.
