There's no business without business networking... it's all about connecting, learning from each other & getting inpired.

This event is FOR EVERYONE who is doing any kind of business in Jakarta or online. Let's get together and have a BUSINESS NETWORKING EVENT (Vol. IX)

The setting is very simple: We will meet and sit together. It's like a speed dating session, but the topic is business and it's not about dating! Everyone will ge the chance to talk with as many people as possible in a very friendly and informal setting. Everyone will have about 3 minutes to give an elevator pitch about their business/story/project/idea to every person they talk to! After the 2h session is over, we will mingle and connect. Are you reay to bring your business idea to the next level?

The language will be in English. Your English doesn't have to be perfect, just good enough for people to understand you. This is your change to improve your business English and to promote yourself and your great ideas, business, and projects!

Enterpreneurs, creatives, start-uppers, local business owners, creatives with practical ideas, professionals with big dreams and bold plans are very welcome to join in this informal business networking.

We have organised this event many times before with huge success! You can see a few past events here:

• Business Networking Vol. VII (April 2025)

ABOUT THE EVENT

Jakarta is referred to as a melting pot due to its status as a "home" for numerous ethnic groups and cultures from across Indonesia. Indonesia is abundant in local artistry and artists. Therefore, let's discover them together.

This Event we're going to see a performance at the Indonesia Kaya Gallery (located within Grand Indonesia Mall).
The show will be start at 3 PM and the duration around 60-90 minutes. It is a complimentary show! However, we must register our email to obtain the ticket. One ticket is allotted per email.

IMPORTAN NOTE: To confirm your attendance and secure your spot, please DM the host your email & phone number to get your ticket. The organiser Gina will then confirm and let you know where exactly to meet, etc. If you don't do this on time, your spot will be given to someone in the waitlist who confirms in time!
