BENCHMARK 2026 is an annual work program organized by the Business and Management Student Association (HIMME) of BINUS University as a platform for learning and collaboration among student organizations across various universities. Through university visits and organizational experience exchanges, BENCHMARK aims to broaden students’ perspectives, improve organizational quality, and build strong relationships with student organizations from other universities. Carrying the theme “𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬: 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡,” the event encourages students to gain new perspectives, exchange ideas, and learn from different organizational experiences.

On 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟔, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, BENCHMARK 2026 was held through a university visit to 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐧𝐠 (𝐈𝐓𝐁), specifically to 𝐈𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐰𝐚 𝐊𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐚𝐧 (𝐈𝐌𝐊) “𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐚” 𝐈𝐓𝐁. The activity provided an opportunity for HIMME BINUS and IMK “Artha” ITB to connect, exchange experiences, and gain insights into each organization’s way of managing activities and overcoming organizational challenges.

The event began with an opening session that officially commenced BENCHMARK 2026, attended by representatives from the BINUS University Department, the President Director of HIMME BINUS University, the President Director of IMK “Artha” ITB, and the Project Managers from both organizations. Through their welcoming remarks, the representatives expressed their appreciation and hopes for the event to strengthen relationships, expand networks, and encourage collaboration between the two student organizations. Following the opening session, the event continued with an organizational sharing session, where participants exchanged ideas and experiences related to organizational management, teamwork, program implementation, and the challenges faced by each organization.

Following the sharing session, participants joined a campus tour around ITB, allowing them to experience the campus environment while strengthening interactions and relationships between HIMME BINUS and IMK “Artha” ITB in a more informal setting.

After concluding the sharing and discussion session, the event continued with a campus tour, allowing participants to explore the Institut Teknologi Bandung campus grounds up close. Through this tour, participants experienced the campus atmosphere firsthand and enjoyed new experiences outside their home university. This activity also deepened the camaraderie and interactions among participants from HIMME BINUS and IMK “Artha” ITB following the discussion session.

More than just a university visit, BENCHMARK 2026 became a meaningful platform for knowledge sharing, relationship building, and cross-university collaboration. The exchange of experiences with IMK “Artha” ITB provided participants with new perspectives on different organizational approaches, encouraged appreciation for diverse experiences, and offered valuable ideas that could be adapted to their respective organizations. Through this mutual exchange, BENCHMARK 2026 strengthened the spirit of student collaboration and established connections that are expected to continue beyond the event and create opportunities for future collaboration.
