On Friday, July 2, 2026, representatives from APIKRI participated in a virtual technical meeting held via Zoom to prepare for the upcoming exhibition scheduled for July 15–19, 2026, at the Jogja Expo Center (JEC). Two delegates from APIKRI joined the session, which served as a crucial platform to coordinate the technical aspects of the event and review the final preparations required from each exhibitor to ensure a seamless showcase.

This participation marks a significant milestone for APIKRI as they align their strategy with the prestigious INACRAFT exhibition standards. The meeting focused on logistical arrangements, booth optimization, and exhibition protocols, ensuring that all participants are fully equipped to present their high-quality crafts effectively to a global audience.
