In the lead-up to the upcoming annual conference, IABC Indonesia is also organizing a series of Road to Conference activities aimed at broadening insights and fostering stronger connections among communication practitioners. Several initiatives have been carried out, including collaborations with the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in New York, U.S., LSPR Institute of Communication and Business, and VMCS Advisory to present a special podcast, as well as webinars in partnership with IABC networks from around the world, including IABC Florida and IABC Seattle.

The highlight of this series of events will take place at the IABC Indonesia Conference & Awarding Night, held on Friday, November 14, 2025, at The St. Regis Hotel, Kuningan, Jakarta, carrying the theme “Strategic Communications at the Heart of Trust, Humanity, and Digital Impact.” This event will bring together communication practitioners and leaders from various sectors to share insights and best practices in navigating digital transformation within the communication industry. IABC Indonesia is also offering special rates for students who wish to participate, either offline or online. Registration can be completed through the following link.

Every month, we also open registration for an internationally recognized certification program leading to the CCP (Certified Communications Professional) designation, valid for three years. In addition to the CCP, we offer international certification opportunities for students, fresh graduates, and first jobbers who wish to deepen their knowledge and build a professional portfolio early in their careers. Through this IABC Indonesia certification, participants will earn a prestigious recognition under the global reputation of IABC, a strong starting point for pursuing a career in the communication industry. Registration for this entry-level certification can be completed through the following link.

For those seeking BNSP-accredited certification with dual recognition from IABC Indonesia, we offer a program that meets the growing demand for dual credentials in the professional field. This initiative is a collaboration between IABC Indonesia and the Public Relations Indonesia Professional Certification Institute (LSP-PRI). The program combines IABC’s global standards with national competencies recognized by the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP). Through this certification, professionals not only gain international recognition but also formal legitimacy within Indonesia’s national qualification framework. Registration can be completed through the following link.

We hope that through these various initiatives and programs, IABC Indonesia will continue to serve as a platform for communicators to learn from one another, share experiences, and create meaningful impact for society. Elevate your professional growth by becoming an IABC member.
