Session 3: C&C (Collaboration and Cooperation) Corners

The final session of the first day was the C&C Corners. The session was meant to discuss about topic

of interests to encourage collaboration and cooperation among BCPN members. There were 2 topics

presented and discussed in the session, they were travel and investment.

Travel

(Miss Ashima Agarwal, India and Miss Man Shu Lee, Taiwan)

The first topic of interest was the everybody’s interest, which is traveling! Presented by Miss Ashima

and Miss Man Shu Lee (Elvira), they both spoke about the impact of traveling and the opportunities

they got from it. In the questions and answers session, the audience came up with idea to arrange

BCPN group travel.

Investment

(Mr. Arief Adinoto, Indonesia)

The second topic, presented by Mr. Arief, is about investment/crowdfunding. While collaborating

business is complex, investment on the other hand is simpler. Mr. Arief spoke about a group

investment opportunity that could be offered to the BCPN members. The idea behind this

opportunity is to help self fund the BCPN (and possibily the BCIO). The opportunity gives members

the option to invest in a project with the idea to put a percentage of profit into the BCPN fund before

dividents are payed to investors.

Mr. Arief explained how investment or crowdfunding could work across various kind of projects, eg.

assets investment, business investment, or social projects. In the future, he hoped BCPN could create

a crowdfunding platform where BCPN member can propose projects to be funded/invested, and any

member can invest/donate their money to the project they are interested in, through the platform.

13

Not only a concept, with his experience as a consultant for Indonesia market entry and investment,

Mr. Arief also presented an ongoing investment project from a Japanese BCPN member to property

assets in Indonesia worth for JPY 5 million, with potential gross profit of 37% within a year.

Closing his presentation, Mr. Arief emphasize the bottom line for any kind of project which involves

money, that it must be laid on the strong omoiyari spirit towards peace and common wealth of the

participating members.

Dinner and Free Time

The first day of the conference was ended with dinner at the hotel restaurant. During free time, some

participants chose to hang out at The Pier Café, while some others enjoyed swimming at the infinity

pool.

Give and Take

The last topic in the Ideas and Initiatives session was “Give and Take”. Each participant was given a

piece of paper, and was asked to write down about what they can take from the APCC network, and

what they would like to give to the network. The bottom line is, there has to be a balance. We can

use the network, but we cannot abuse it. It means, every member has to make their balance of taking

benefit from and contributing to the network.

Their list of take and give (input and output) were kept as their commitment.

Summary Session

After the lunch break, MS. Erin and Mr. Arief presented a brief summary of all the sessions, to give

emphasize to the important conclusion from each session.

17

Beach Bash

The Summary Session is the closing of formal sessions of the conference, but it is also a time to have

fun. All participants were taken by bus to the Lagoon Beach near the resort. The participants were

then divided into 2 groups, and they chose a group name “Cat” and “Lion”. The Cat and The Lion

competed to win 4 games, named as “123 Eaaa”, “Apple Orange Banana”, “Water Speed Race”, and

“Bulldozer Race”. Everyone took part, got wet, and enjoyed a fun time with much laughter together.

18

Closing Party

The Closing Party was set as roundtable dinner in the

sandy field by the resort beach. Younger BCI members

came to the party with their family. 25 management

members of the sponsor, PT. IKI, were invited. Almost

100 people attended the party.

The party became more colorful with participants

wearing their colorful national dress. The

sponsor also exhibited the Let’s Go! Chicken and

Yu’ Manja products and provided them free for

all participants.

The party was opened at 7 pm by the MC, Ms.

Ema Ekayani and Mr. Reza Aditya, both are

former Indonesian JA of 1989. Mr. Satwika then gave a speech on behalf of BC Indonesia and PT.

Inspirasi Kuliner Indonesia. After his speech, the Indonesian 2019 JAs performed “Saman” dance from

the westernmost province of Indonesia, Aceh.

The second speech was from The APCC Operating

Director, Mr. Masaomi Fuji. He expressed his

happiness that the conference went well, and hoped

BCPN will arrange the conference every 2 years.

All guests were then pleased to enjoy the dinner while

being entertained by an Indonesian Idol, Miki Michaels,

and his band. The band performed so well, that all the

guests could not resist joining in singing and dancing.

Unfortunately the rain came in the middle of the

party. The rain was sudden, and very heavy, that

even the tent could not keep the guests dry. The

party was then moved into the indoor restaurant,

where the participants closed the conference by

singing “We are the BRIDGE”.

19

Trip to Thousand Island

9 October 2019

Thousand Island (Kepulauan Seribu) is the name of

archipelago in the north of Jakarta offshore. On the

final day of the conference, all participants were

taken to Putri island, one of many resort islands in the

Thousand Island.

The rented a private boat and left the Marina Port at 8:30 am, and

reached the island at around 10 am. After enjoying the welcome drink,

all participants went aboard into a glass bottom boat to enjoy viewing

colorful corals and fish around the island. Soon after the glass bottom

boat docked, participants went into underwater glass tunnel to view

different kind of fish.

Done enjoying the underwater,

the next activity was enjoying

walk around the island which

might take only half an hour. However, the participants did

not want to miss the moment to take a lot of pictures with

beautiful scenery around the island. They were also surprised

by the presence

of free range Komodo dragons in the island.

After having lunch, it was the time for the most awaited

activity, snorkeling. Snorkeling equipment was included

in the trip package. Snorkel, goggle, life jacket, and

the hotel they had booked.

Closing Remarks

On behalf of BCPN, I would like to express my gratitude that The 1st BCPN Conference has been hold

successfully. I believe, this event is a beginning of further development of our network with the spirit

of “OMOIYARI”. I believe, many projects and collaborations will be initiated by BCPN members in the

near future. Those activities will grow the organization and in return, and Global BRIDGE Leaders will

rise from BCPN.

My highest appreciation goes to the sponsor, Mr. Satwika Ary Saputra and PT. Inspirasi Kuliner

Indonesia. Also, my appreciation is conveyed to the APCC/BCIO Board of Directors. The credit of the

successful event is given to BC Indonesia members, and the event organizer team. Thanks to the Putri

both institution and individual, who has taken part to make this conference a great success.
