Every venue mapped in Honolulu appears above. The ones with enough published detail to be worth reading have their own guide and are linked; the rest are named here, which is honest about what the record holds without giving each of them a page made of three facts.
Convention and exhibition space
3 venues in Honolulu are classified as exhibition or convention space. They are the only rooms here designed around a floor plan rather than a seating plan.
- Hawaii Convention Centersize not published
- Neil S. Blaisdell Exhibition Hallsize not published
- Neal S. Blaidell Centersize not published
Capacities are the figure the venue or an encyclopaedia entry published. They are usually the seated maximum, and the same room in banquet or reception layout can differ by half. Confirm the layout you want before you plan around a number.
How people reach Honolulu
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) sits 7 km (4.3 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
The city runs on Honolulu time (Pacific/Honolulu). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Kīhei is close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Honolulu has nothing free on your dates.

Shows that return every year
First Pan Pacific Conference on Education, Rehabilitation, Reclamation and Recreation, The Eleventh International WWW Conference, Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing and 33rd International Conference on Software Engineering come back to Honolulu. A returning show is the best evidence a place has the rooms, the hotel stock and the airlift to carry one.

The local constraints
Check the city calendar first
Honolulu carries recurring shows including First Pan Pacific Conference on Education, Rehabilitation, Reclamation and Recreation, The Eleventh International WWW Conference and Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing. Hotel rates and venue availability move sharply around them, so pick your dates against that calendar rather than against your own.
What event67 costs for a Honolulu event
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Honolulu event sized to Aloha Stadium, the largest stated capacity in the Honolulu dataset. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- activated attendees
- 950activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $4,500for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Honolulu does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
By event type
With a stated ceiling of 50,000 seats, Honolulu can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- trade shows and exhibitions
3 exhibition or convention halls mean a booth plan is possible in Honolulu without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
A 50,000-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.
- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Honolulu is set up for.
- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 50,000 takes an audience no conference venue in Honolulu can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
