But the array of scenic wonders is equaled by our rich, multicultural tapestry and ability to accommodate events of any size, from professional conferences, to exclusive special events, to international summits. As the anchor of the Paci c, Hawai‘i is uniquely situated between the East and West to serve as a center of international commerce and a gathering place for innovation, offering an inspirational destination experience that captures the imaginations and creativity of visitors and business travelers alike. From the moment your invitations, itineraries or other advance materials are received, you will inspire both anticipation and enthusiasm, while offering exceptional accommodations, facilities and services. Meet Hawai‘i’s dedicated sales and marketing teams stand ready to help you. Mahalo for allowing the Aloha State to assist you in setting your meeting or event apart from the rest.
With warmest regards,
