What does it take to bring our Native Hawaiian Convention to life?

Months of planning.
Hundreds of meetings.
Thousands of emails.
Countless phone calls.

From booking venues and coordinating vendors to programming panels, site visits, and last-minute pivots, every detail happens long before the doors open.

This is the work behind the experience.

Recently, Zabrina and the incredible folks from Haus of Puas led our staff in a pua kalaunu lei making workshop at our headquarters.

Seeing past participants of our KūHana Business Accelerator like The Gay Agenda Collective come back to share their mana'o and craft with us is exactly what this work is all about.
