With three main themes: Digital Transformation, Equality, and Sustainable Growth. Together, we will explore relevant discussions and dialogues that encourage young people to grow and contribute to Indonesia through the smallest things.

This event provided a lot of knowledge and insight to all participants who attended to be able to have a broad perspective, good leadership skills, and be able to have a positive impact on the country. Not only seminar and talk show sessions but also this event allowed us to build networks with people or communities that exist there.

Several communities that were present also provided opportunities for anyone who wanted to join as a volunteer to increase and improve their knowledge. What made it even more special the event was giving a lot of prizes such as cash, cell phones, books, and others to participants who were actively asking questions.
