Bett Launches in the U.S. — Backed by 100+ Educator & Industry Leaders
Bett USA launches with momentum from across the K–12 ecosystem as 50 leading education companies and 50 U.S. education leaders join as founding Launch Partners and Bett Builders ahead of its November 2027 debut in Nashville.
NEW YORK, USA — Hyve Group today announced the launch of Bett into the United States, supported by 50+ leading organizations (“Launch Partners”) and 50+ U.S. K-12 education leaders (“Bett Builders”). Bett USA takes place November 8–10, 2027 at the Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
Bett USA is the new national home for innovative K–12 educators — bringing together the leaders who set direction, evaluate solutions, and bring learning to life alongside the companies building what's next. The event is designed to help schools and districts discover, test, and confidently implement the best of what's possible in learning.
Building on Bett's 40+ year global legacy across the UK, Brazil, and Asia, Bett USA launches at a defining moment for education — uniting a proven international platform with the deep U.S. relationships, trust, and convening power of ASU+GSV Summit. Founded by Deborah Quazzo and Michael T. Moe in partnership with Arizona State University, ASU+GSV has spent nearly two decades advancing its mission to create a world in which all people have equal access to the future — cultivating the preeminent gathering of leaders across education, workforce, technology, entrepreneurship, capital, philanthropy, and policy.
Bett USA extends that mission into a dedicated K–12 platform, helping innovative educators, district leaders, and solution providers move from inspiration to implementation.
“Together, Bett and ASU+GSV create a powerful foundation for Bett USA to convene thousands of K–12 innovative educators to ensure that every educator in the U.S. can access and confidently implement the best of what's possible in learning.”
More than 50 Launch Partners and a founding community of Bett Builders are helping shape the event from the ground up, ensuring it reflects the real needs of schools, districts, and the innovators building what's next.
To help ensure a high-quality, representative audience from year one, Bett USA will provide travel scholarships and attendance support for a group of K–12 leaders and innovative educator voices representing a range of roles, communities, and geographies.
