Embracing SHIFT(THINK) as this year's theme, which means changing our thinking to improve lifestyles through technology, the event aims for its participants to expand their networks. "The best way to grow business today is by building connections," said Ideafest co-founder Ben Soebiakto.

Debuted in 2011, the event will collaborate with the creative video community Indovidgram to host Indovidfest, which is said to be the biggest creative video festival in Indonesia. Numerous performers, such as SkinnyIndonesian24, Chandra Liow and Devina Aureel, are scheduled to take the stage during the session. In addition to the aforementioned events, the competition ideas aim to find the best social entrepreneurs from Indonesia, in which the winner will receive mentorship funding as well as an education trip.
