RAPIMNAS is an series of national-level meetings, held by the National Board of ALSA Indonesia to inaugurate the elected board members and discuss the programmes soon to be held by the elected board. This event was attended by all 13 local chapters, observers, and incoming national board members.

The event included the following agenda: the presentation of accountability report from the 13 local chapters, tenders for national and international events, and the fit and proper test for international board member candidates. This event lasted for 3 days and 2 nights.

On the first day, the event was preceded by the participant registration and opening ceremony in Room 3.1.1 of Universitas Gadjah Mada Faculty of Law. The opening ceremony began with the singing of the national anthem, Indonesia Raya, as well as the ALSA anthem, and then followed by greetings from Abhirama Haidar as the Project Officer of the event, Javas Mesa Briantama as the Director of ALSA LC UGM, Azman Rishad as the President-elect of ALSA Indonesia, Syahbanu Austin as the representative of ALSA International, and Agung Pratama as the Head of Dewan Mahasiswa Justicia Universitas Gadjah Mada Faculty of Law. The opening ceremony video was then presented and the placement of the Director pin for the 2016-2017 period. The event was then followed up with a special performance by Alfonsus Bergas, revealing his monologue. This powerful performance aimed to strengthen the spirit, determination, and purpose of ALSA Indonesia as well as to gently remind how the events of ALSA Indonesia should have a meaning to the Indonesian people.

After the opening ceremony, the participants proceeded to the meeting location, Disaster Oasis Hotel, Kaliurang.
