Presenting the Main Secretary of BPS, Atqo Mardiyanto as a speaker, this public lecture was guided by the Director of STIS Polstat, Erni Tri Astuti as moderator. In his presentation, Atqo explained that the implementation of education at Polstat STIS is the implementation of BPS's 4th mission, which is to build superior and adaptive human resources based on the values of professionalism, integrity, and trust. “BPS is an independent agency. Therefore, instill from now on to be professional," he added.
