Business is globally minded here—but the style is distinctly achieved through aloha
and a Hawaiian sense of place. The HCC
is lushly landscaped, luminous with natural lighting and open to the ocean breezes. That ambiance creates a relaxing,
comfortable environment for attendees to find focus, network, create and contribute to productive and dynamic business programs just outside of Waikīkī.
Satisfaction ratings speak for themselves: Meeting planners consistently rate the Hawai‘i Convention Center above 95 percent.

GETTING IN AND GETTING AROUND
The Oʻahu advantage for international and domestic gatherings is location
and accessibility. The mid-Pacific setting,
shuttle ride from the hotels and resorts are abundant, and major rental car
companies are located at the airport
and at numerous island hotels. A fleet
of motor coaches can seamlessly move 30,000 meeting attendees from hotel
to the convention center or to off-site
venues. Motorized trolley cars head out
to all the shopping centers, and TheBus,
O‘ahu’s public transportation company, is
rated one of the best systems throughout the entire U.S. Honolulu has been
named one of the safest cities in the
United States, and Waikīkī is open until nearly midnight for walking, shopping, entertainment and dining.
And if you’re there, why not see more? Ease of travel between the islands
expands the options for multi-island
meetings, incentive events or extended family stays. Short flights on local
carriers provide hourly travel from
Oʻahu to Kaua‘i, Maui, Moloka‘i, Lāna‘i and the Island of Hawai‘i.
