Balikpapan is an ideal location for a business-to-business conference and exhibition on ports and logistics due to its strategic position on the eastern coast of Borneo, serving as a key gateway for trade and maritime activities in Kalimantan and the wider Indonesian archipelago. The city hosts the Port of Semayang, a major hub for container, bulk, and oil-related cargo, making it a critical node for regional shipping and logistics operations. Balikpapan is well-connected through Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Airport, providing easy access for international delegates, port authorities, shipping companies, and logistics providers. Combined with its growing commercial and industrial ecosystem, government support for infrastructure development, and modern conference facilities, Balikpapan offers the perfect platform for networking, knowledge exchange, and strategic partnerships that drive maritime trade and logistics across Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
