THE FUN OF GATHERING TOGETHER WITH EAST JAVA SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVITIES IN ASTON MOJOKERTO

It cannot be denied that the rapid development of information in the current digital era has had a tremendous impact on both economic growth and the massive and rapid dissemination of information to the wider community. Delivery of information that is fast, innovative, and accurate also has a powerful influence on society, both through pictorial and audio-visual messages.

For this reason, ASTON Mojokerto invited social media activists in East Java to an event held for the first time in Mojokerto, namely East Java Social Media Talks on September 23, 2023. At Wilwatikta Restaurant, 25 people from Mojokerto, Sidoarjo, Blitar, Pasuruan, Kediri, Surabaya, and Jombang participated in the event, which started at 6 PM to 9 PM with great enthusiasm.

The event, opened by Iwan Setiawan, General Manager of ASTON Mojokerto, expressed his gratitude for the presence and also the extraordinary response at the event, which was not just a friendly gathering but also exchanged information about the latest social media developments at this time, where algorithms from several platforms also have undergone changes.

'Currently, it could be said that our lives cannot be far from social media. Because nowadays, just by using a device, all information can be easily obtained. Moreover, the unique news delivery trend will be a special attraction for anyone who follows. Especially for ASTON Mojokerto, because we are the first Smart Hotel in Mojokerto and hope our guests feel pampered with Smart Room facilities in all room types.' said Iwan Setiawan, General Manager of Aston Mojokerto.

Besides casual conversations and exchanging ideas on social media, guests also enjoyed acoustic music and a barbecue dinner.

'We appreciate what ASTON Mojokerto brings to all of us because, with this event, we can exchange ideas directly with other social media activists. The event was fun and relaxing,' concluded Leo Rizky, a social media activist from Sidoarjo.
