The first session, a Sharing Session, took place online via Zoom on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, providing a platform for participants to exchange insights and foundational knowledge on developing and implementing OBE curricula across various study programs. The second session, a Coaching Clinic, was held offline on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at Mikie Wijaya Hall, Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) USU.

In the material presentation session, Ria Anggraini, S.ST., MBA., CDTP, delivered a talk on strategies for developing and implementing OBE guideline modules.

Following that, Hamdani Arif, S.Pd., M.Sc., presented a session on the technical aspects of aligning and structuring OBE curriculum modules across courses.
