A New Faculty Perspective – Benoît Dubuisson, Managing Director, Downtown Europe
Sharing his experience after joining the IAPCO Faculty for Hosted EDGE Jakarta: 

“Becoming part of the IAPCO Faculty, taking part of the Hosted Edge in Jakarta, has been an insightful and inspiring experience from the very start.
From the very first exchanges, everything felt clear, welcoming, and surprisingly seamless. The preparation was focused and purposeful, giving me just the right foundation while still allowing me to shape the session in my own way.
Once in the room, the dynamic created by the Chair and the team made the whole experience fluid, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable. It reaffirmed how powerful well crafted learning environments can be.
Overall, it has been a privilege, and it truly motivates me to contribute to IAPCO education programs even more in the future.”

We warmly thank Benoît for his contribution and for sharing this reflection, which underscores the value and impact IAPCO educators have across our global community. Join us.
