May Day is Lei day in Hawaii, when Hawaiians celebrate island culture in general and native Hawaiian culture in particular. Representatives of the Hawaii Convention Center took their holiday to Chicago, bringing some Aloha to the Windy City as the venue’s personnel met with key clients and meeting planners in the Chicago area. In addition to sharing the spirit of Aloha, the team also shared information on the latest developments of the over $2 billion Waikīkī rejuvenation project as well as the many custom resources that Hawaii has to help them “globalize” their meetings.

These are just the sort of events where our sales team can personally extend our Aloha. ”
