Bett 2026

26th August 2025

We are thrilled to confirm that Loxit will be at Bett 2026 in London. Our stand will feature all of our latest product innovations, including AV Furniture, Screen mounts, Video conference and Esports solutions.

Meet the team

The Bett show is a great opportunity to meet the team, in-person and see the kit in action.

The stand – North Hall NH62

We look forward to meeting you at the show. Our stand is just off the main concourse, there’s lots to explore – our product line up covers a number of EdTech areas including Esports and AV Furniture, where the integration of technology into the classroom environment is bringing immersive learning and greater connectivity (within and outside the room) alongside our ever present focus – you – the person teaching!

Our products are designed to help you deliver the most engaging and productive sessions possible. We know that requires team work – great products, reliable tech and the ambition to share knowledge. We pride ourselves on being your partner, developing products to help you deliver the best possible experiences for your students.

Every Loxit product is the result of our collective experience, decades innovating solutions that support and enhance your education spaces. Designing, developing, delivering and supporting you every step of the way, from initial ideas and conversations to understand the challenges, through to room layouts, technical requirements and product manufacture.

Tailor-made solutions

Our ranges cover a wide selection of tech and tech integrations, thanks to our UK manufacturing, we are also able to offer bespoke and custom solutions in an efficient manner.

Focussed on longevity

Many of our products are in service over a decade after their initial installation. This is a result of our exhaustive design and development processes. We design to accommodate changes in technology, we focus on ease-of-use and value for money.  We also go the extra mile, operating as a carbon negative business since 2014!

Esports north and south

14th May 2025

There really is no substitute for getting hands on and talking with other people about a shared passion – Esports. Our desks have been developed as a result of these moments, great conversations about how you train, what your set-up needs – and what it doesn’t. The nice to have’s and the absolutely has to have’s.

Everyone’s training is different

Team work and collaboration are more than themes or nice to have’s, they are the life blood of the Esports scene. The successful teams are often working and training so closely with one another that they develop a sixth sense – knowing exactly who is best placed to deliver each and every aspect of the task or challenge. Able to support one another and sharing the success that comes with that.

Adaptable

With this intensive work and training comes a lot of personal preference – tweaks, hacks and personalisation that works for the team.

We understand the importance of the individual needs and have worked really hard to create a core product that delivers a lot of the central pieces, bolstered by the ability to tweak and adjust it around the needs of particular crews.

We’re able to do this as we design and manufacture here in the UK. Our team works in a similar way – championing collaboration and communication.

Should a product need a minor mod in order for it to fit, or for a specific personal need, we’re able to accommodate that it a timely and efficient manner.

May the 4th be with you

May has seen us supporting Esports events in the north and south of the UK with IDNS Matter, Corsair and the PC Specialist. These dedicated Esports suites offer schools and colleges opportunities to enhance their curriculum and potentially generate revenue.

LTSMG Conference 2025

28th April 2025

This year the LTSMG conference was held at the University of StrathClyde in Glasgow. The agenda was packed with professional AV and I.T learning sessions.

We always look forward to the LTSMG conference, it’s a great opportunity to catch up with the wider AV community – find out more about technical developments, explore some of the common challenges we are all facing and share our passion for ed tech.

Dancing shoes

This years conference brought a new twist, something that we weren’t expecting – but will definitely do again! Away from the professional development there was time to socialise over a meal followed by a traditional Scottish Keilidh.

If you know, you know just how much fun a Keilidh dance can be! Neither Adrian or Sharon had been to a Keilidh before and they weren’t so sure, but any apprehensions were soon put aside as everyone joined in, with lots of laughter and smiles as the local experts lead the novices around the room.

Supporting local charities

There was also the opportunity to support two local Glasgow charities with the raffle. We supplied prizes and got involved with the event, raising funds for Sense Scotland and Cahonas.

The University of Strathclyde

Having spent 3 days on campus, we came away very impressed. The University of StrathClyde campus is first class, the stunning exterior of the Technology and Innovation building with it’s sharp, pointy façade is unashamed, challenging, pushing forward for future generations. Built 5 years ago, it’s at the heart of the Glasgow City Innovation District, an area expected to create 700 new jobs and attract millions of pounds worth of investment into the area.

This building brings together ambitious, forward-thinking people to tackle the big questions affecting society at a global level. They are proud to be developing solutions that will drive inclusive, economic growth. The campus is surrounded by a wealth of innovative start-ups and supply companies, people who’ve located here to nurture and connect with the talent of the students and the start-up’s that they are creating.

If you get the opportunity to visit this site, take it and remember to check out a Keilidh dance whilst you’re there.

ISE 2025 – Innovation and lots of AI

18th February 2025

ISE is now firmly established within it’s new home – Barcelona. For those who visited the show when it was in Amsterdam, it’s now even bigger, covering every aspect of communication and a huge spectrum of AV technologies. Here’s a few stats –

1,605 leading AV exhibitors
85,351 attendees from 168 countries
6 halls at the Fira Barcelona Exhibition Centre (LINK)

It wouldn’t be impossible to do justice to everything, so here’s a few things that stood out in the areas where we operate.

Screens

Micro LED technology was in the spotlight with Samsung’s The Wall  – a visually arresting, 462” immersive visual. Another impressive demonstration of micro LED technology was found on the Absen stand, shoaring a collaboration with the media artist, Refik Anadol, who produced a stunning AI-driven data painting on a 4200 x 6075mm KLCOB V2 display.

LG’s kinetic installation felt very much like an art exhibit, rather than a product stand. They captivated attendees with a blend of animation and art, using rotating mirrored cubes and LED displays.

Another visually impressive display was found at Lang’s Muxwave M3 Transparent Display, this used striking waterfall visuals, stopping people in their tracks – no mean feat at a technology conference.

Having won an Inavation Award for Upanel II MIP, Unilumin shared three new products. The Unatural Series which blends architectural elements with screen content in a semi-opaque display. When powered off, the Unatural display blends effortlessly with its surroundings, almost completely disappearing from view. Also featured was the Udesign SV, a screen mesh that appears transparent from behind but displays fully animated content from the front and the Uslim III, a creative indoor LED display for use in airports and retail spaces.

Philips also had a significant screen presence with Unite LED All-In-One solutions. This demonstrated a range of exceptional 4K and 8K dvLED displays with integrated control and audio functions.

Whilst screen technology is always moving forward, the ability to access the screen themselves remains a challenge for many organisations. We remain very confident of our ability to deliver safe and reliable solutions, bringing technology, access and usability together. Whether that is a static wall hung screen or an innovative touch screen trolley. Check out our range. 

Meetings and Networking

The online meeting platforms – Microsoft Teams and Zoom continue to develop their services, with both companies showcasing innovative integrations of their technology at ISE.

Yealink introduced AVOne, an all-in-one solution for modern meeting spaces. Designed for easy deployment and management, AVOne unifies integrated AV solutions on a single network, delivering a seamless approach to meeting room technology. Another neat innovation on show was the Yealink MTower tabletop centre-view camera. Designed as a companion to the Yealink A40 and S40 video bars, it features AI-powered Best-View Switching technology, dynamically shifting between front and centre perspectives to create an instant, immersive hybrid meeting experience.

Away from the products and technology we enjoyed some in-person networking with the attendees from SCHOMS, catching up over lunch on two of the days. We really enjoy and value this time with the users and managers of AV infrastructure from across higher education within the UK. It keeps us informed about the current challenges, what the day-to-day looks like, helping us identify where we can help and add value.

Partnership

ISE 2025 saw Loxit showcasing products on the SY Electronics stand. We firmly believe in team work and this opportunity brought us together – sharing resources and supporting one another. Within the stand we featured the Hive Collaboration and Huddle products, showcasing the SY switching. matrix and control systems. Typical of the installations found within professional office space, education and conference services.

We also shared our Control Media Lectern, demonstrating the compact nature of the products and the versatility of the rack space within them. The stand featured Control 700 and 900 with rack builds by SY Electronics.

We enjoyed working with the team at SY and hope to return to ISE in 2026 with more new products and innovative solutions.

Environment

Thankfully the planet hadn’t been forgotten amongst all the glam and glitz of AI at ISE. We are pleased to see that sustainability and the awareness of energy usage/demand is growing across all technology channels. It was reassuring to see so many companies giving these messages space at ISE.

Philips sponsored the first-ever ISE Sustainability Hackathon, promoting its EcoVadis Platinum accreditation. They also showcased the Tableaux ePaper display—an ultra-low-energy solution that uses zero power to show static images and minimal power to swap to a new image. Something that we believe should become a display standard – fingers crossed.

An interesting example of sustainability and well-being leading product development was found on the Logitech stand with Spot—a sleek sensor device, set to launch in the second half of 2025. Spot is designed for office-wide deployment, enabling smarter workspace automation by providing actionable insights into meeting room air quality. Something which also helps identify opportunities to reduce energy costs across meeting spaces and properties.

There were many more announcements and accreditations, it has inspired us to keep pushing, keep innovating how we design and develop products, following our vision, to create ‘solutions that don’t cost the earth.’

Until next year

ISE continues to set the standard in AV technology. There are mind blowing visuals, amazing audio and acoustic experiences throughout the show, in many ways 3 days simply isn’t long enough to take it all in, especially with such an impressive city as the backdrop. Until next year, we would like to thank the event organisers and partners for their hospitality throughout the event.

Loxit BETT 2025 reflections

30th January 2025

2025 saw another highly successful BETT show at the Excel in London. This year’s show was dominated by the promise of AI – Artificial Intelligence. What it has already done and how it will help educators deliver even more – more immersive, timely and in-depth knowledge and understanding.

We thoroughly enjoyed the keynotes, Day One was Anne-Marie Imafidon and Stephen Fry – wow, what a powerful coming together of minds…and technology to reframe the future of education, the skills that are really going to matter and the technology that will support those skills.

Day Two was Nicholas Hamilton, who shared an inspiring story of overcoming disability and the need to create more inclusive spaces.

Day Three, and the curtain call, saw IBM sharing insights into the future with AI alongside Michael Rosen and Christian Foley who demonstrated the timeless importance of creative storytelling, captivating the audience.

Education community

Away from the main stage BETT presents a great opportunity to meet with fellow designers and developers to explore the changes in technology and user needs. We love spending time with the education technology community. It’s a diverse group, with a massive amount of skills and knowledge that we are proud to play a small part in.

The evening events celebrated technical and user-experience achievements across the education spectrum. This was another opportunity to network, ensuring that we keep informed and up-to-date with all the latest trends and technology.

Loxit at BETT 2026

Loxit has supported BETT for over 20 years, in recent years we have watched the event evolve, becoming much more focused, creating the two main halls – software and hardware/infrastructure. It’s an important show and we are excited to announce that we will be exhibiting at BETT 2026. More details about that in the coming months.

Screen mounts, mobile video conferencing and laptop solutions at the Elementary experience centre

18th October 2023

Collaborating to share the best AV and I.T experiences

We are thrilled to contribute to this world-class space, championing innovation, technology, knowledge, skills and experience.

We know that the best way to experience new technology and innovative ideas is in person. There is simply no substitute for getting hands-on with the equipment. Physically using it yourself and testing how it could help in your daily tasks.

That’s why we have invested in the Elementary Experience Centre. A place where you can see several of our products, connected into room infrastructure, working as they would in your space. The Elementary space features the following Loxit products:-

Hi-Lo® Mono™ Screen Mounts

Sleek minimalist design that delivers an easily accessible on-screen experience.

Available as a wall mount, wall to floor mount, freestanding mount and mobile trolley. We also offer a slimline fixed position version.

Hi-Lo® Smart Connect Mobile Video Conferencing

Everything that you need for professional video conferencing within a fully mobile trolley solution.

Lapbank™ TL and CB

Solving laptop storage issues, the Lapbank brings fresh thinking into this space with weight saving designs, working heights and sizes appropriate to the human body, easy access for users and top levels of security.

Making an informed choice

Whether you are looking at new technology or upgrading an existing solution it’s essential to make a fully-informed choice. Visiting trade shows and peer recommendations are really useful places to start your fact-finding, but we believe that there’s nothing quite like a in-person experience. A space where you can test the products in an environment that replicates your needs.

The Elementary Experience Centre is a great place to do this and we’re proud to have our products featured. If you’d like to see more Loxit products, we also have a showroom, where you can experience the products first hand. Talk to us about visiting the our showroom.
