PPBI

PPBI (Pekan Pameran Produk Budaya Indonesia), is one of the follow up action for Creative Industry FGD held by Indonesian Trade Department. It took place at JCC (Jakarta Convention Center), Senayan. Which is the place for almost all big events.

Pekan means "week", so for one whole week we can see all creative products from all around Indonesia in JCC. From paintings, handycraft, batiks, to film and photography. Games and Animation was the last to join Indonesia's Creative Industry, we entered as Digital Creative Business.

Four studios joined the exhibitions, Matahari Leisure, A Box, Stratego and Main Games, and due to the short noticed information about the exhibition, we cramed ourselves to two booths. Surprisingly, our booth was the most popular booth for children.

A-Box brought "jungkat-jungkit" and "F1 racing". Stratego with its "virus annihilation" interactive floor, 2 arcade machines from Matahari and Blaster a puzzle-shooting game from Main Games.

It was - like any other exhibition- needs effort, but it was wothed, because we finally have a chance to:
1. network with fellow game developer studios, not in the official way, but now at least we have something to talk about
and
2. prove our existence to the government :)

i really hope next year we will have the chance to participate again and hopefully there will be more studios to join us
