HIMSCON 2024 Brief Recap

HIMSCON is an annual event performed by Himpunan Mahasiswa Sastra Inggris (HIMSI) BINUS and takes the form of onsite seminar or webinar (online seminar). This year, HIMSCON was conducted in the form of webinar and held for three days long, starting from June 26 until June 28. HIMSCON 2024 took the theme “Amplify Your Personal Brand: Building Confidence for Career Advancement” and invited three speakers. Each of them provided three different subtopics.

For the first day, we invited Kak Ignatius Sherdy Tanzarez or usually called as Kak Igna. He delivered the topic “Confidence in Public Speaking”. He gives us many tips and tricks on how to perform public speaking and how to be confident while performing it. The topic delivered by Kak Igna sparked high curiosity from many participants by looking at the Q&A session, many participants asked many questions to Kak Igna about the material given and how to apply it while speaking in front of many people. For the second day, we invited Kak Esra Tambunan. She delivered the topic “Social Media Branding”.

The day 2 session was enjoyable because the thought-sharing session using the Padlet application made the session very interactive. By conducting the thought-sharing session, we got many wonderful insights about social media branding from the participants.

On the third or last day of HIMSCON, we invited our lecturer from the BINUS English Department Ms. Udiana Puspa Dewi. She delivered the topic “How to Set & Achieve Goals”. On the third day, we delve into Ms. Udiana’s life story and journey. By understanding Ms. Udiana’s life point of view, we can understand how to plan for our lives and how to achieve our life goals.
