Meet Hawaiʻi’s Aloha Mission returns to Australia and New Zealand 2-9 June 2025, reaffirming Hawaiʻi’s position as a premier destination for meetings, incentives, conferences, and events (MICE).
The mission will provide Australian and New Zealand business event planners an exclusive opportunity to connect with 12 leading MICE partners from Hawaiʻi. Spearheading the delegation are Hawaiʻi Visitors & Convention Bureau President & CEO, Dr Aaron J. Salā, and Meet Hawaiʻi Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Lynn Whitehead.
“We are delighted to reconnect with our valued partners in Australia and New Zealand, regions with deep cultural and historical ties to Hawaiʻi,” Dr Salā said.
“Hawai‘i offers an inspiring setting where our rich cultural heritage fosters meaningful connections. We invite event planners from Oceania to explore how our shared Pacific values can enhance their next business event while creating lasting, positive impacts.”
Business event professionals in Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland will have the opportunity to engage with the delegation through pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings, networking events, and an interactive Q&A session. Attendees will receive the latest insights on Hawaiʻi’s hotels, venues, cultural experiences, corporate social responsibility programs, and unique group activities.
With limited availability, meeting planners are encouraged to register early to secure their spot. For more information or to secure a meeting, contact Oceania Country Director Kris Phadungkiatipong at kphadung@meethawaii.com
