IdeaFest 2026 promotes the creative economy as BNI expands digital payments

IdeaFest 2026 is putting the human role in an increasingly digital creative economy at the center of its 15th edition. Held from September 4 to 6 at the Jakarta International Convention Center in Senayan, Jakarta, the event carries the theme “Re:Humanize.”

The theme focuses on how people fit into the expanding use of artificial intelligence in work, creativity and interaction. More than 500 speakers and 160 sessions are scheduled across topics including AI, creativity, business, entertainment, culture and technology.

BNI is participating as the event’s Official Banking Partner through wondr by BNI. The service supports consumer transactions, while wondr Merchant helps tenants accept and manage digital payments, including QRIS transactions, during the festival.

BNI Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo said the creative industry gives young people space to develop ideas, work and new economic activity. “Technology should become an enabler that helps people develop, not replace humans as the directors of ideas, creativity and decisions,” he said in a written statement.

The bank is offering several promotions during the event. Visitors buying tickets with BNI debit or credit cards through wondr by BNI can use a Buy 1 Get 2 offer through September 6, subject to availability. BNI credit card holders can also receive zero-percent installments for up to 12 months, with three-, six- and 12-month terms available.

Other offers include cashback of up to Rp80,000 on selected IdeaFest transactions and three-month zero-percent installments. New BNI credit card applications through wondr come with cashback of up to Rp500,000. Opening an account through wondr by BNI offers a reward of up to Rp100,000 or a suitcase, while existing customers activating wondr can receive Rp20,000 after meeting transaction requirements.
