IDMC 2026 Partners with Fortu Digital for 4K Screen Supply
There is a significant shift occurring regarding the technical standards for organising professional conferences in Indonesia. Several components previously found only in international conferences, such as the use of 4K resolution screens, direct interactivity capabilities, and remote connectivity for long-distance speakers, are now becoming common practice in several national-scale conferences.
This trend is evident in the technical configuration of the Indonesia Digital Marketing Conference (IDMC) 2026, held at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) BSD on 4-5 June 2026. Organised by SVO.AI, the conference utilised more than 20 units of digital signage and interactive flat panels (IFP) with 4K resolution. The supply of this digital signage and IFP was provided by PT Fortu Digital Teknologi, a visual technology company based in Jakarta.
As information, international conferences consistently rely on high-resolution displays, participant interactivity, and remote speaker integration as part of production standards. These components were previously rare in domestic conferences due to budget constraints and limited technology availability in the market. However, this situation is gradually changing. Several conference organisers are now placing visual quality as a primary budget component, rather than just an additional element. This shift is driven by increasing participant expectations, the needs of brand sponsors to display content with quality equivalent to their digital campaigns, and the demands for event documentation for post-event content.
Regarding previous patterns, conference budgets tended to be allocated largest to speaker fees, venue rental, and catering. On the other hand, visual components were generally the first expenditure items to be cut when facing cost pressures. In the new pattern, this composition has shifted. Visual technology budgets have become one of the items maintained because they are considered to have a direct impact on participant experience and sponsor satisfaction. This reallocation is creating new market opportunities for B2B visual technology vendors who previously struggled to penetrate the event segment due to tight budgets from organisers.
More than 20 units of digital signage and interactive flat panels were recorded at IDMC 2026. Digital signage units were used in the entrance area, sponsor booths, and the conference hall. IFP units, equipped with 4K resolution and conference call features, were placed in several classrooms for training sessions and panel discussions. Ultimately, this configuration allows organisers to change content dynamically during the event, including displaying schedules, sponsorship content, and participant navigation guides—something that is difficult to achieve with conventional printed backdrops.
“This type of configuration is already quite common in international conferences. What is interesting is the momentum in Indonesia, where more organisers are starting to treat this technical quality as a standard rather than an optional extra. This reflects how participant expectations and sponsor needs have shifted,” said the CEO of Fortu Digital, Jovian Alvin, in a written statement on Monday (8/6/2026).
Furthermore, this shift in standards is creating new competitive pressure in the visual technology provider industry. Vendors that previously only provided standard screens must begin investing in products with higher resolutions, more complete feature sets, and technical services that can address the complexities of modern conferences. This pressure simultaneously serves as an opportunity for players who are prepared. The professional conference market promises large transaction volumes in short periods and business characteristics that can boost a company’s revenue run-rate if managed well.
Notably, Fortu Digital serves clients across the automotive (PT Denso Indonesia, Honda Motors), energy (PT PLN), and higher education (Universitas Tarumanagara) sectors. IDMC 2026 is positioned as the largest martech expo in Indonesia, featuring international speakers such as Neil Patel and Peng Joon.
The B2B visual technology market for the event segment in Indonesia is projected to continue growing, driven by the increasing number of professional conferences, the expansion of the creative industry, and the demand from brands to match international production standards.
