I got many things during the conference, since that my first AIESEC International Conference and also my first time going abroad too, so, I was really excited since first time I arrived In KL Sentral, the meeting point for all the delegates before we went to the venue.
The first thing that I got during the conference was LCP tracking, I got a lot of information about how the LCP should do to help big growth in exchange number in the LC. That was really meeting my expectation because before I joined the conference I expected to get many things to help me apply as the next LCP of AIESEC Bandung.
The second was, I got a lot of information about the whole AIESEC in Asia Pacific in terms of exchange condition, how they grow their exchange number, how they came up with idea to solve the problem to boost their exchange number, learned from the best LC, shared many things about good case practice from LCs.

We got partnerships with
The last things, at the of the conference we trying to make plan how we implement and follow up the partnership, so, all the Indonesian delegates made the timeline to achieve those target of exchange number, to realize our partnerships with other country.
