For the first time, Indonesia Google Business Group did a session at campus. The first campus visited were Bina Nusantara University. For two and a half hours, about 150 students were gathered at the campus auditorium to discuss and learn about expanding their (mostly) first online business using Google AdSense.

The session began with Yansen Kamto, sharing to the students about the wide opportunity in online business. A lot of the students already have online business, and they were eager to learn more about it in the session.

Many of them asked about how to promote the businesses, and how to market their products to wider mass.
