Regarding the location of the upcoming exhibition, the chief organizer H.M. Yadi Sabianoor and Head of BPPMD for East Kalimantan Province said in his report that the development exhibition and East Kalimantan Expo 2012 were the last to be held outside a building or open space.

This is because the East Kalimantan Provincial Government itself has built a Convetion Hall whose first pillar was erected by the Governor of East Kalimantan, DR.H. Awang Faroek Ishak on February 2 2012 and most likely in 2013 the implementation will no longer be in an open area, because we will utilize the Convention Hallbuilding which is on an area of ​​3.4 hectares, targeted for construction to be completed in 2013," said the head of the organizer who received applause from invited participants and the audience present.
