Event Nature: Virtual Conference
Duration: 3 days
Attendees: 4,700+
The Indonesian Pharmacists’ Association or Ikatan Apoteker Indonesia (IAI) is the largest association of Pharmacists in Indonesia. Every year, they host ACPPPS or the Annual Conference on Pharmacy Practice and Pharmaceutical Sciences, a science conference, and exhibition for medical professionals and practicing pharmacists in Indonesia.
For the last 5 years, ACPPPS is running as a physical event in Indonesia, but as the pandemic hit it needed to quickly adapt to a new virtual venue. To do this, IAI needed a stable virtual events platform that can work with slow internet speed and manage a large number of audiences.
They are also looking for a fully-integrated events platform with capacities for event registration, public event access, and reporting. In 3 months after they chose EventX, they managed to seamlessly move online to host their first virtual event by November 2020.
IAI used EventX’s virtual event solution to create an interactive online conference and webinar experiences that allowed attendees to network, live-stream different event speakers, and participate in virtual booth exhibitions.
More than 85 renowned speakers and medical experts graced the event along with President Joko Widodo as their keynote speaker. It also successfully exhibited some of the largest medical, healthcare and pharmaceutical companies like P&G Health, Phapros, PharmaQ, OGB DEXA, and PT HGI.
In terms of audience reach, they managed to overachieve their target number of participants by 36 percent, attracting more than 4,700 attendees. Later, this figure was recognized as the “Annual Scientific Conference and Virtual Exhibition with the Most Number of Participants” given by Museum Rekor Dunia-Indonesia or MURI.
MURI is an Indonesian museum that recognizes local record achievement in their field of expertise.
