Jakarta, Indonesia, 8 September 2016: ​The organiser of​ ​Indonesia’s first major ICT event
– Communic Indonesia 2016 – today announced that the inaugural show was a huge hit –
with 5,691 trade visitors and 266 exhibitors from 28 countries taking part in the show across
four days.
Hosted by PT. Pamerindo Indonesia, a member of Allworld Exhibitions, Communic
Indonesia was held at ​The Jakarta International Expo last week and attracted industry
professionals from across the globe, providing a showcase of the latest products and
state-of-the-art technologies in 5G, Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud and
Security.
The show was supported by Indonesia’s Ministry of Communications and Information
Technology and opened by Indonesia’s Vice President H. Muhammad Jusuf Kalla. This
created a huge buzz around the exhibition and the conference, with a number of companies
such as Telkomsel and CDN Solutions also making exclusive industry announcements.
“The feedback we have received from the visitors and exhibitors of Communic Indonesia has
been extremely positive, especially in relation to bringing such a huge and diverse
technology show to the region” said Victor Wong, Project Director at Singapore Exhibition
Services. “This is the first event of its kind in Indonesia and the popularity of it shows just
how relevant it is to the region. We look forward to welcoming even more visitors to next
year’s show.”
The show’s exhibitors – including Samsung, AsiaSat and Infinet Wireless – came from 28
different countries​ including, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Canada, Australia,
United Kingdom and the United States of America. S
​ everal solutions showcased were
claimed to be critical​ to accelerating the development of Indonesia’s ICT ecosystem to​ fulfil
the aim of becoming Southeast Asia’s largest digital economy by 2020.
In addition to the exhibition, Communic Indonesia also featured a two-day conference with
three main tracks; Broadband and IoT, E-Commerce and Satcom, each including plenary
sessions, keynote speakers and panel discussions. Day one alone pulled in 1,926 visitors to
the Expo, with the most popular panel sessions and presentations, including ‘Efficient
Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Deployment’ hosted by Paul Macaulay, President of the FTTH
Council Asia-Pacific and the ‘Power Hub: Provisioning Broadband Networks in Asia’ panel,
moderated by Heru Sutadi, Executive Director of the Indonesia ICT Institute.
The ICT Summit was co-located with Broadcast Indonesia – an International Digital
Multimedia and Entertainment Technology Exhibition & Conference – which provided a
platform for top industry leaders to network in one of South-East Asia’s most up and coming
markets.
Following the success of this year’s show, dates for next year’s show have already been
confirmed. Communic Indonesia 2017 will be held at The Jakarta International Expo, in
Kemayoran, from October 25-27, 2017 and will again be co-located with Broadcast
Indonesia.
