Because, in every conference, you will have sessions from experts and externals, have networking with AIESECers from other countries, etc.
One of the annual conference is Asia Pacific Exchange Summit (APXS). This conference is focus on creating strategy to increase Exchange quality. Means... this is part of our commitment to give you high quality of Exchange. One of our member, Mio, went there. And this is his story...

Malaysia, 18-21 December 2008


Delegations:

1. Bangladesh

2. Cambodia (Expansion team from AIESEC UK)

3. India

4. Indonesia

5. Japan

6. MoC (Mainland of China)

7. Malaysia

8. New Zealand

9. Pakistan

10. Taiwan

11. UK

12. Vietnam

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. And our LC selected as one LC who did the sharing in the discussion panel. And I was the representative of my LC, so that time I should share things about, “how to capitalizing external resources to help exchange growth”. Because I am still manager and not really know many things about the LC doing because the updates of every functional are done frequently. So, I was trying to do that with all my best and little help from the MCVP X Indonesia. And in the end I could present good and useful information for other delegates. And that was great experience I have ever had.

The third one, we were learning how to do LC-LC or Country-Country partnership. We learned how to build partnership with other LC or other country to help boost the exchange number easily. After that we learned how to do pocket recruitment to follow up those partnerships. We also have done simulation about those things. The good things are now we have 3 partnerships and signed already. We got partnerships with China, Taiwan, and UK. Yeah!!

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.

Benefits for my self:

I got so much benefit by joining this conference, networking as I expected before, got network from 12 countries. Many new strategies to accomplish my job during this term, more represented my country as well. Told many things about my country, the culture, many great places in my country. Getting to know other country as well, and also wondering to visit one of Asia Pacific country, such as China or maybe Pakistan. And the most important thing is I got many idea to improve my country, I can do it AIESEC or by being good citizen. I really want to promote my country to other country start from Asia Pacific, after that promote globally.

My opinion:

By going abroad I can see many differences, culture things, how other country doing something, their policy, how they manage their transportation, how they manager their city, etc. So, after I traveled to Malaysia I can say that really good to have this kind of experience, see the other world of your life. Experience different things in your daily life, explore many things that you haven’t taste it yet and make it as experience that can change your way of thinking, your way of acting on some kind of things in your country, make your life more value able to live and the most important thing is more love your country and how to make your country better that the others or at least make it better than others in your perspectives. And this experience make me things to do more traveling and make me to have more spirit to explore this world, and after that bring all back those kind of experience to improve my country than ever. Maybe by being the president someday, why not?!
