Hawaii
The meeting will take place at the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.
Hawaii, America’s 50th state, is an archipelago of eight main islands, seven of which are inhabited. The state of Hawaii was named after the biggest island in the archipelago, Hawai’i, also called “The Big Island.”
Honolulu is the capital of the state of Hawaii, and is located on the island of Oahu. The Convention Center is located near the famous Waikiki Beach.
Hawaii is the only state in the USA located in the Pacific Ocean. Named the Sandwich Islands by Captain James Cook in 1778, Hawaii received statehood on August 21, 1959.

Discover all the wonderful islands Hawaii has to offer.

Kauai
The oldest and northernmost island in the Hawaiian chain, Kauai is known for the breathtaking cliffs of the Napali Coast. Take a boat tour and don’t forget your camera as you witness this spectacular natural wonder. While you’re there, don’t forget to spend some time relaxing on the picturesque beaches of the North Shore. And while Kauai may be best known for kayaking along the tranquil Wailua River, the truly adventurous should try mountain tubing in the irrigation ditches of Lihue.

Oahu
Oahu is the metropolitan heart of Hawaii. It’s also known as the destination for the sport of surfing. The legendary North Shore is home to Waimea Bay, the birthplace of big wave surfing and every winter, the best surfers from around the world compete along the North Shore at the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing.

Lanai
Just across the channel from Maui, Lanai is a secluded getaway known for its resorts and 4-wheel drive adventures. But for scuba divers, the lovely lava caverns off the south coast called the Lanai Cathedrals, cannot be missed.

Molokai
A short ferry ride across the channel from Maui, Molokai is an island firmly rooted in Hawaiian culture. Molokai is best known for fantastic sport fishing. Fishing enthusiasts can take a charter boat from the charming town of Kaunakakai for the catch of a lifetime.

Hawaii’s Big Island
The calm, clear waters along the Kona Coast make Hawaii Island a special place for snorkeling and scuba divers. Kona is also known as a great place for deep-sea sports fishing, with many fishing tournaments held throughout the year. But one of the most unique water adventures the island has to offer is manta ray diving. Take a charter boat off the Kona coast at sunset and scuba or snorkel with friendly mantas. Having an otherworldly manta ray glide within inches of you is an experience you’ll never forget.
