The International Association of Professional Congress Organisers (IAPCO) returned to Indonesia with its Hosted EDGE Seminar in Jakarta, 26-28 November 2025. The three-day programme is co-hosted by Pacto-Convex and the Tourism Indonesia Chamber of Commerce (KADIN Indonesia), in collaboration with the newly opened Nusantara International Convention Exhibition (NICE) PIK2.
Indonesia has been a key focus point for IAPCO’s global education mission since the late 1980s, with the association delivering training programmes over many years. Designed and led by the IAPCO Training Academy, the Hosted EDGE Seminar features a practice-oriented curriculum combining interactive learning with real-world application.
Reflecting on the opportunities for the region, Stephen Noble, chair of the IAPCO Training Academy, said: “Delivering IAPCO education in Indonesia is about more than sharing global best practice, it’s about unlocking local potential and empowering event professionals to lead with confidence on the world stage.”
IAPCO said its Jakarta seminar reinforced the association’s commitment to capacity building and long-term professional growth for PCOs across the APAC region.
