TEK Norge, a collection of leading educational technology companies including Aschehoug, Glydendal, Cappelen Damm, Learnlab, Laere, and itslearning, joined forces once again to showcase Norway's innovation in digital learning at Bett 2026, the world's largest EdTech event.
Creating 'The Norwegian Classroom', the group has been a familiar presence at Bett, exhibiting consistently for many years, with this event being the fourth collaboration between TEK Norge, GES and the Show Ready team.
THE CLIENT'S GOAL
The primary purpose for TEK Norge was to create a 'Norwegian Classroom' that could be shared between Norway's leading educational technology companies. By cohabiting a single stand, the group aimed to highlight the breadth of Norway's technology and digital solutions and present a cohesive story to the global education community.
Equally important was the need for a cost-effective approach that didn't sacrifice on quality, functionality, and the visitor experience. TEK Norge wanted a space that worked seamlessly for multiple exhibitors and reflected the innovation and collaboration of Norway's EdTech sector - all while staying within budget.
HOW WE DID IT
With a long-standing relationship already in place, TEK Norge chose to partner with GES. With 6 exhibitors sharing the 48 sqm space, a Show Ready modular stand package was the perfect solution.
The GES team worked collaboratively with the group and chose the 3M Elbe from Show Ready - The Originals range. This best supported their individual and collective objectives by helping them maximise floor space and increase visitor engagement with ease of access from 3 sides.
With 6 individually branded counters, 4 wall-mounted TV monitors, and a central networking space with poser tables and chairs, these stand extras enabled the group to meet, connect with and demo their solutions effectively to the 30,000+ visitors who attended Bett 2026.
The team's approach was collaborative and efficient:
THE IMPACT
The stand delivered a well-thought-out, cohesive layout that successfully showcased all 6 exhibitors under the unified 'The Norwegian Classroom'. The space balanced a collective identity with individuality, creating an open and welcoming space for demonstrations, networking, as well as valuable one-to-one meetings.
This project reinforced the value of long-term collaboration, and once again demonstrated Show Ready's ability to deliver flexible, cost-effective, multi-exhibitor stand solutions at one of the industry's most high-profile events.
“Ben and the Show Ready team are fantastic partners to work with. They support us through every step of the process, from early planning and shaping a collaborative multi-exhibitor stand, to adapting quickly when last-minute design changes come up. Their ability to manage multiple stakeholders while keeping the overall space cohesive is invaluable, and it's a big reason we enjoy working with them year after year."
