Join your fellow Columbians for a weekend of fun and camaraderie in Jakarta! We have arranged several events for the weekend. There is no obligation to attend every event, though please try to come to the joint lunches and dinners with the Indonesian alumni, especially the lunch on Saturday November 16. Most events are pay-as-you-go but some require a prepayment. Please use this Google form to register your interest.
Please note that flights, accommodation, ground transport, visas, and Covid-related requirements are the responsibility of each traveler. We are still planning on a few hotel options, but please feel free to choose whichever accommodation you desire.
