KM SUMMIT on January 09-11, 2024 in Bali, Indonesia

The KM Summit was held for the first time by the Indonesian Knowledge Management Society (KMSI) in 2015 in Jakarta. The background of the KM Summit at that time was based on the condition of the Indonesian nation's competitiveness which did not seem to be developing properly. This can be seen from the ranking results for several competitiveness themes, such as the Global Innovation Index, Knowledge Economy Index, and Human Development Index. From the results of this ranking, it can be concluded that Indonesian people are still a burden in the organization. Workers in the organization are still unable to optimize their creativity for competitive advantage. It also shows our weaknesses in managing people and their knowledge within the organization. So the existence of the KM Summit is very important to socialize KM nationally and regionally, with a focus on human development, process development, and technology utilization. By implementing KM in a structured manner, it is expected that organizations can consistently and optimally develop and utilize knowledge for the betterment of their organization.

During the Covid-19 pandemic from 2020-2022, the KM Summit was not held. Since then, the acknowledgment of KM as an enabler to business process improvement and the maturity of KM in Indonesia soared, today, practicing Knowledge Managers use the latest tools and implement next-generation KM Strategies.

In 2024, the KM Summit will be held in conjunction with the KMGN or Knowledge Management Global Network's global learning week, which is planned to be an annual event organized by KMGN. *A collaboration of KM societies in four countries, namely Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and Australia. The collaboration of these four countries shows how KM can be developed not only nationally but can grow regionally and internationally. This has become very important for the development of knowledge management practices in today's The ultimate goal of end-to-end KM is to maximize the utilization of organizational knowledge, leading to informed decision-making, improved problem-solving, enhanced employee performance, and sustained competitive advantage.
