Site-Inspection Assistance

The Hawaiʻi Convention Center team can assist with scheduling appointments to tour event venues, inspect meeting facilities and meet with service staff. 

Promotional Literature

As travel destinations go, Hawaiʻi doesn’t need much hype. But when it’s time to promote your program, we have the right materials and brochures (all complimentary or available for a minimal fee) to get your attendees excited.

Promotional Booth

It’s never too early to generate enthusiasm about an upcoming aloha event. Hawaiʻi Convention Center will staff a display and information booth at the annual convention preceding your Hawaiʻi event, allowing potential attendees to “Save the Date," pick up promotional items and learn about next year's event in one of the world's most unique destinations.

Attendance-Building Services

We can help you hit high numbers with services to attract more attendees to your event, including customized telemarketing and direct mail. Through our Global Outreach Program, we’ll also help you attract new delegates from Asia and the Pacific Rim.

Travel Partner Directory

Whether you’re looking for ground transportation or golf, translators or team-building, hotels or hula dancers, you’ll find it here. We'll help you by generating leads, making connections and distributing RFPs to our extensive network of suppliers throughout the islands.
