WEBSVAGANZA is an annual program organized by the Workshop Entrepreneur Business Society (WEBS) Universitas Airlangga as a forum for developing students' entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, and managerial skills through a series of activities that integrate business, education, and entertainment aspects in one event. In 2026, WEBSVAGANZA carries the theme "Beauty in You, Refined Presence, Elevated Together" as a form of invitation for the younger generation and entrepreneurs to continue to develop amidst the increasingly rapid changes in the industrial world. This theme emphasizes the importance of the ability to adapt, improve quality standards, strengthen self-identity, and build collaboration to advance together through synergy in the fields of beauty, lifestyle, and F&B.
WEBSVAGANZA 2026 will be held on November 14–15, 2026, at Galaxy Mall Surabaya and organized by WEBS Universitas Airlangga , targeting students, MSMEs, creative communities, and the general public. This activity is held as an effort to create a space for self-development and business for the younger generation while supporting the growth of the creative economy through cross-sector collaboration. In addition to being a means of entertainment and education, this event also aims to provide real-life experiences for students in implementing academic, managerial, and entrepreneurial skills directly in a professional environment.
WEBSVAGANZA 2026 activities consist of three main sub-events. First, WE Market, a modern bazaar that provides a platform for students and MSMEs to introduce and market their products to the wider community through a professional, innovative, and competitive bazaar concept. Second, WEFD (WEBS Festival Day), an entertainment sub-event that presents music concerts, community performances, and various creative activities as a means of expression for the younger generation. Third, Webizspeak, an educational forum that presents professional speakers and industry practitioners to provide applied insights, career inspiration, and increase the personal and professional capacity of participants.
Through its theme, WEBSVAGANZA 2026 is not only an entrepreneurship festival, but also a medium to encourage the redefinition of beauty in a modern context, where beauty is no longer measured solely by external appearance, but also by the spirit of innovation, the courage to develop, the ability to build relationships, and real contributions to society. With the spirit of "Elevated Together", this event is expected to inspire more individuals and entrepreneurs to continue growing, bringing new colors to the journey towards the best version of themselves and their businesses, while creating a positive economic impact for various parties.
In its implementation, WEBSVAGANZA also supports the achievement of several points of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through affordable and inclusive participation access, this event contributes to SDG 1 (No Poverty) by providing economic opportunities for students and MSMEs. In addition, through seminar sessions and practical training, this event also supports SDG 4 (Quality Education). SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) is realized through encouraging the growth of the creative economy and the creation of business opportunities for the community. Equally important, collaboration with companies, communities, and government institutions reflects the commitment to SDG 17 (Partnership for the Goals).
Overall, WEBSVAGANZA 2026 is expected to be a strategic platform that will not only impact the development of individual students, but also make a positive contribution to the reputation of Universitas Airlangga as a higher education institution that actively supports collaboration, innovation, and sustainable development.
