The event was attended by PTPN III (Persero) Plantation Holding President Director, Dolly P Pulungan, Marketing Director I Kadek Kertha Laksana, Board of Commissioners, Board of Directors, and KPBN employees. All participants at the event wore batik-themed attire. The event was opened by the MC, followed by a speech from PT KPBN President Director, Edward S. Ginting. In his speech, Edo stated that "In the future, PT KPBN will transform further, innovate, and open up new businesses besides being in plantation community marketing." Another highly anticipated moment was when the President Director of Perkebunan PTPN III (Persero) Holding, for the first time, gave his direction and hopes for PT KPBN. One of his hopes was to "have PT KPBN continuously innovate, remain optimistic in facing every challenge, and be competitive in the global market. The achievements to date are expected to not only be maintained but also enhanced," said Dolly. "The greatest challenge at PT KPBN's 9th anniversary will be our ability to adapt to changes occurring. The shift in working methods toward technology-based millennials is a real challenge that must be faced. In the future, PT KPBN must achieve maximum success and excel as a BUMN subsidiary for plantation commodities that can compete with other companies," added Dolly in his speech. The peak of the 9th KPBN Anniversary celebration was the tumpeng rice cone cutting, given symbolically from the PT KPBN President Director to the Plantation Holding President Director, followed by a group photo, prayers, and a friendly gathering.
