10 – 11 March 2018, Jakarta Study UK Exhibition.

The Study UK Exhibition 2018 was held at Sheraton Grand Jakarta Gandaria City Hotel. There was an opening ceremony by Paul Smith, Country Director of British Council Indonesia and Moazzam Malik, the British Ambassador to Indonesia, ASEAN, and Timor Leste at 12.00 pm. The event was attended by 1579 participants for the two days event. There were 51 UK Institutions exhibiting at this exhibition.

We also collaborated with our partners, such as British Embassy Jakarta, Chevening, IELTS, Jurusanku, myClass, PPI UK (The Association of Indonesian Students in the United Kingdom), UK Visas & Immigration and Vooya. British Council Indonesia received fairly positive feedbacks regarding the exhibition from the participating UK institutions. Within two days exhibition, several seminars were held on various related topics for instance; IELTS Workshop: How to Get Great Scores in IELTS by British Council Indonesia Foundation – Examinations Services which was fully attended.

This Study UK exhibition attracted lots of media interest and coverage, with reporters from leading national newspapers – Harian Kompas and Republika and online media – republika.co.id, kompas.id and Medcom.id (previously metrotvnews.com) coming to attend the event. British Council Indonesia undertook a review of the exhibition to identify what went well, what did not go well, and the key ‘lessons learnt’ to inform future activities.

With feedbacks from exhibitors and visitors, together with inputs from British Council colleagues, this post-event report presents the results of that review.
