The Indonesia Accounting Fair (IAF) is the largest and oldest accounting event held under the auspices of the Accounting Professionalism Study Program, Faculty of Economics and Business, University Indonesia (FEB UI). First held in 1999, IAF is not just a seminar or competition, but rather a collaborative ecosystem that brings together students, historians, and practitioners from both Indonesia and abroad to demonstrate their competency in accounting and business.
This year's IAF features a series of activities that combine theory and practice, ranging from a Pre-Event Talk Show, International Seminar, Training and Company Visits, to an Accounting Competition and Business Case Competition. The entire agenda is designed to develop both technical and managerial skills in attendees, providing answers to the challenges of the accounting world amidst the ever-changing global dynamics. It serves as a prestigious platform for undergraduate students from various universities.
Main Room
Upon entering the main hall of the Indonesia Accounting Fair, visitors are immediately directed to the main stage located at the front. This main stage serves as the centerpiece for major events, from the opening ceremony and international seminars to panel discussion sessions. With a modern design dominated by red and white, this space exudes a formal and dynamic feel, befitting the academic and professional character of the IAF.
An elegant feel is felt from the industrial-style ceiling combined with modern lighting. The cream-colored main walkway, accented by red carpets on both sides, seems to guide visitors toward the stage, as if they were in a large convention hall.
Exhibition Booth
In the main hall, the right and left sides are lined with exhibition booths featuring companies, institutions, and professional organizations. Each booth is equipped with interactive areas such as presentation screens and discussion areas, allowing visitors to engage in direct conversations and learn more about each institution.

Benefits of a Virtual Exhibition
The inclusion of a virtual exhibition alongside the in-person event for the IAF offers several distinct advantages:
Longer Access and Duration: The virtual exhibition can be accessed for a longer period of time compared to the limited in-person sessions. This longer period allows a wider audience to engage with the competition materials, presentations, and discussions at their convenience, accommodating varying schedules and commitments.
Wider Reach and Accessibility: By being “openly accessible” online, the virtual exhibition transcends geographic boundaries. This allows students and others who cannot physically attend due to distance, logistical constraints, or other reasons to still participate and benefit from the information presented at the event.
Complementary Information Hub: The virtual platform serves as a comprehensive digital repository for the “materials, presentations, works, and other useful information” exhibited at the IAF. This allows visitors to revisit content, delve deeper into specific areas, and access details they might have missed during the in-person sessions.
Enhanced Engagement and Learning Opportunities: By offering a continuous online presence, the virtual exhibition supports the IAF’s primary goal of broadening students’ understanding of accounting practices and future trends in the profession. The exhibition provides an ongoing resource that reinforces the insights gained from the in-person event and extends the educational impact to a broader audience.
