Jakarta, 28 October 2025 – PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) once again hosts the Indonesia Knowledge Forum (IKF) on 28–29 October 2025. Now in its 14th year, this annual forum reflects BCA’s ongoing commitment to fostering knowledge, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration for a resilient and sustainable future for Indonesia.
Carrying the theme “Future Starts Today: Catalyzing Ideas, Shaping What’s Next”, IKF XIV 2025 invites participants not only to attend as listeners but also to become agents of change. In line with this spirit, this year’s event introduces a new format titled Cinema Conference, held at CGV Grand Indonesia, Jakarta. This cinematic approach is designed to create a more immersive and relevant conference experience for the younger generation and creative industry players.
The forum was officially opened by Armand Hartono, BCA Vice President Director. In his opening remarks, Armand emphasized the spirit of Think, Connect, and Inspire as this year’s IKF theme, serving as a momentum to share ideas and build more meaningful collaborations. “These three pillars teach us to think with vision and identify new opportunities (think), strengthen cross-sector, community, and generational collaboration (connect), and act with noble purpose to create real impact for society and the environment (inspire),” he added.
Throughout the two-day event, IKF XIV 2025 aims to reach 1,100 participants through 18 sharing sessions featuring more than 19 inspirational speakers from various fields. On the first day, topics include passion- and trend-driven creative businesses; the future of digital marketing strategies; the role of technology in modernizing business operations; and the importance of having a vision in creative arts. On the second day, sessions will explore how global trends can be leveraged for lifestyle, automotive, and entertainment brands; the significance of inspirational content, cybersecurity, mental health, and sustainability in supporting future businesses; and how to build character to face the future.
“We hope IKF XIV 2025 will foster networks that spark previously unimagined collaborations, facilitate idea exchange, and broaden perspectives. Moreover, we hope it will inspire real actions with wide-reaching impact for businesses, industries, and Indonesia. May this forum become a source of knowledge, inspiration, and collaboration that strengthens our collective steps in shaping the future,” Armand concluded.
