What is National Congress?
National Congress (NATCON) is the annual national assembly of IAAS Indonesia, bringing together delegates from Local Committees across the country. It serves as a collaborative forum where students exchange ideas, strengthen networks, explore agricultural issues, and celebrate cultural diversity. As one of IAAS Indonesia’s largest events, NATCON aims to empower young agricultural leaders through discussion, innovation, and meaningful interaction.
