Wednesday (April 18th) was the first event of FEB Market x Gigs. FEB Market x Gigs itself is a collaborative event between BEM FEB business department and Sega (Arts and Sports) department. The first event of FEB Market x Gigs which took place from 08.00 to 16.00 WIB took place at GKM park with a Carnival theme. There were 2 main events, namely open tenant/stand bazaar and acoustic performance.

According to Farhan Prinovanto (Management 2017), the head of the FEB Market event, the carnival theme was chosen to pique the curiosity of FEB students to visit. The purpose of the FEB Market event is to facilitate FEB students who have businesses and also encourage student business activities by opening bazaar stands. Students who want to participate in opening a stand have quite easy requirements: simply register and make a payment

The business owner is a student at the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at Airlangga University. Farhan also explained that the decorations for the event took quite a long time, especially since this was the first time the event was held. Furthermore, the products marketed at the FEB Market were not very diverse, and he hopes that student interest in attending the FEB Market will increase in the future. Regarding the goal of the FEB Market event, Farhan advised, "Don't be afraid to start a business."

One of the bazaar booths participating in the FEB Market x Gigs event was "Cicil," a payment platform for online marketplace transactions. Rizky Hanna Ekaputri, Cicil's ambassador, felt the event was helpful because she was able to meet potential users face-to-face and learn about the consumption culture of FEB students, as well as educate and introduce "Cicil" to FEB UNAIR students.

In addition to the FEB Market, which is more aimed at business, Gigs, as an artistic platform for FEB, also has a purpose. "The Gigs event itself is a forum for FEB students to develop their musical talents and hone their confidence to perform in public," explained Aditya Rachman (Accounting 2017), the head of the Gigs event committee. To be able to participate, there are also procedures similar to the bazaar booth. "Show your passion from now on," Aditya said at the end of the interview session.

In addition to being a facilitator for business owners and music enthusiasts, the collaboration of these two events, tries to present a new atmosphere of GKM. One of them, Yenny Novita Sari (Islamic Economics 2017), a student who visited the FEB Market x Gigs event, considered that holding the event could enliven GKM FEB and become a forum for FEB students to facilitate marketing their products. This event also increased the enthusiasm of students to be brave in business and later be able to participate in this FEB Market. According to her, there were many interesting bazaar stands, one of which was "KPK coffee loeb". "Hopefully the FEB Market Gigs event can be even better and be held regularly," said Yenny when met during the event.
