As previously advised. IDC will hold its Convention in Jakarta, Indonesia from 21st to 24th September 2018.

Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world consisting of thousands of large and small islands - according to

data from the Ministry of Interior, in 2010, as many as 17,504 islands. Because of its natural beauty, Indonesia has

become a popular destination for tourists, but it is also rich in culture with various tribes living in Indonesia in harmony

and peace, each having its own characteristics as well as distinctive culinary in each territory.

Jakarta is the capital city of the Republic of Indonesia, but it is also a

special territory enjoying the status of a province, consisting of Greater

Jakarta. Located on the northern coast of West Java, it is the centre

of government, commerce and industry and has an extensive

communications network with the rest of the country and the outside

world. Strategically positioned in the archipelago, the city is also the

principal gateway to the rest of Indonesia.

Founded in the early 16th century harbour town of Sunda Kelapa, it was re-named Jayakarta, meaning Glorious

Victory on June 22, 1527. The Dutch East Indies Company, which captured the town and destroyed it in 1619,

changed its name to Batavia and made it the centre for the expansion of their power in the East Indies. Shortly after

the outbreak of World War II the name of the city was changed to 'Jakarta'.

Our Convention Hotel, the Alila Hotel SCBD, is located in the heart of

Jakarta enabling you to experience the city by exploring Jakarta’s

bustling ethnic enclaves, its most famous antiques market, and its rich

and varied arts scene, or just take a stroll through the botanical gardens.

This convenient location combined with flexible spaces and state-of-the-

art support facilities for exclusive business meetings together with the

hotels distinctive approach to creating Jakarta events, makes Alila,

Jakarta the ideal meeting place.

Our President for 2018 is Mr Marcus Taslim of Jeeves Indonesia. In 1969, Sydney

Jacobs opened up the original Jeeves shop in Belgravia Square, in the heart of London’s

prestigious embassy area and close by Buckingham Palace. Inspired by the legendary

Jeeves of P.G. Wodehouse fame, Mr. Jacobs wanted

to provide a service reminiscent of the old-time valets,

the gentleman’s gentleman.

Jeeves reputation for unparalleled service and

spotless quality grew rapidly. during the 70s and, in

1974, the company was registered and authorised to

sell franchises in foreign countries. Jeeves of

Belgravia’s spotless service, attention to detail, and

technical know-how is also available in London, New

York, Hongkong, Bahrain, Singapore, Macao and

Manila. Jeeves, Indonesia was established in 1996 and today, Jeeves has several

branches at strategic locations in Jakarta and Surabaya.

Bali is small island, just 140 Km by 80 Km and lies between Java, the most highly populated and influential of all the islands, and Lombok, one of the quieter and moderately slower paced islands.

The Balinese are skilled artisans, particularly in woodcarving and in fashioning objects of tortoiseshell and of gold, silver and other metals. The Balinese are noted for their traditional dance, the distinctive music of the gamelan and for their skills in weaving cloth of gold and silver threads, Songket, as well as for embroidering silk and cotton clothing.
