Scaling a small campus program into a 400+ person technology event.

This was not only event execution. It was an exercise in rebuilding momentum, aligning people, raising funds, and turning an under-recognized program into a national-scale technology experience.

WITH

40+ committee members across eight divisions · IEEE Student Branch UI

THE OVERVIEW

Techtonic 2.0 was a technology program spanning seminars, competitions, and workshops. I inherited more than a schedule: I had to help rebuild confidence in an initiative that previously reached roughly twelve participants.

As Project Officer, I led more than forty committee members across eight divisions. The work moved constantly between strategy and detail: positioning the program, coordinating dependencies, raising funds, resolving internal friction, and protecting the participant experience.

01 · CONTEXT

The program needed sharper positioning, stronger coordination, and enough trust from participants, partners, and a large volunteer team to grow beyond its previous scale.

02 · MY RESPONSE

I led eight divisions through planning and delivery, coordinated seminars, competitions, and workshops, and helped secure approximately IDR 15M in sponsorship within roughly IDR 30M total funds.

03
THE PROCESS

How I moved through the work.

01

Reset the scale

We treated the previous turnout as a signal to rethink positioning, audience, partnerships, and the relationship between each event format.

02

Create operating rhythm

Eight divisions needed shared priorities and clear handoffs. I led coordination across program, competition, workshop, sponsorship, media, logistics, and participant-facing work.

03

Earn external trust

I helped turn the plan into a credible proposition for sponsors and partners, contributing to approximately IDR 15 million in sponsorship and roughly IDR 30 million in total funds.

04
KEY DECISIONS

The choices that shaped the result.

  1. Frame Techtonic as a complete technology experience rather than a collection of unrelated events
  2. Use measurable participation and funding targets to align divisions
  3. Balance ambitious scale with enough operational detail to keep delivery credible
  4. Lead through division owners instead of trying to personally control every task

05 · REFLECTION
The visible result is 12 to 400+ participants. The deeper result was learning that scale comes from a system of people, incentives, communication, and trust. Leadership here meant making the whole committee more capable, not becoming the center of every decision.
