School Operations Leadership Forum 2025 (SOLF 2025), set to be hosted by ASK Consulting on Wednesday, 17 September 2025 at The Dharmawangsa Jakarta, is Indonesia’s only dedicated gathering for the high-quality professionals who ensure schools run smoothly and sustainably behind the scenes.
ASK Consulting is a leading education-sector advisory firm, trusted by over 120 schools and education businesses across Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Their work has impacted over 9 million learners and facilitated more than USD 300 million in education investments and partnerships.
As such, while many education events focus on curriculum and pedagogy, this forum shifts the spotlight to the essential roles of HR, finance, compliance, operations, admissions, and marketing. By bringing them together in one space, the event creates a platform for shared problem-solving and professional growth, so school leaders can return to their institutions with renewed clarity and strategies for resilience.
Beginning at 8.30 AM, the programme features plenary panels on rethinking school operations in a changing environment, redefining school branding for impact, and the evolving role of HR teams as strategic drivers of culture and retention. These provide school operations leaders with a dedicated space for strategic reflection, professional exchange, and upskilling for recognition of their essential role in driving school performance and growth.
Limited to 120 seats, participants will then join breakout tracks tailored to their functional areas: People & Culture (HR, Staff Development, Internal Communication), Systems & Sustainability (Finance, Legal & Compliance, General Affairs), and Growth & Engagement (Marketing, Admissions, External Relations). They will discuss about solving recruitment and retention, strategic budgeting for financial resilience, and moving past marketing to build real connections with authentic branding – in schools.
Sessions will be delivered in both English and Bahasa Indonesia, depending on participant preference. Included are experienced practitioners from leading schools as well as voices from the wider education sector, who will bring global insight and local expertise to the event, curating spaces that deliver insight, connection and actionable outcomes.
The day concludes at 6 PM with a reflection panel, where each group shares what they have learned and what actions they will take back to their schools. Sponsor showcases and curated networking opportunities will round out the programme, giving attendees the chance to explore solutions and build connections that extend beyond the event.
SOLF 2025 is set to be a landmark event, raising the profile of school operations and equipping leaders with the practical insights to build stronger, more sustainable institutions. Priced at IDR 1,750,000 per participant, the forum promises a full day of focused discussions, functional breakouts, and networking.
