The speakers during discussion session.

The discussion session with the speakers begun, continued by talking sessions brought by the host and the co-host. “Dynamic”, was how Marlene Danusutedjo (Director of Communications Mandarin Oriental Hotel Jakarta) described the current situation of hospitality industry in Indonesia. To act as public relations in such a challenging industry had formed a certain sense of ambition in creating the industry to become even bigger and wider. To make Indonesia’s hospitality industry to be known by the world was believed to be the main objective. As hard as it is, Debby Setiawaty and Romy Herlambang had claimed that what they do in the industry had been about their passion after all this time. This then led to a question and answer sessions on broader aspects of Public Relations, about either inside or outside of the hospitality industry, as well as the strategies of maintaining work-life balance as a PR.
