Access and arrival
6 km (3.7 mi) to Hilo International Airport (ITO). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.
7.4 km (4.6 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.
Hilo has 21 venues mapped in total and a population of 43,263. The Hilo guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Think of it as one room in a bigger plan: a training day, a members' evening, a committee that needs to be in the same place. It is 4th of 21 venues mapped in Hilo.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
The app bill, at this size
A Nani Mau Gardens programme at 240 activated attendees — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Hilo — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
- activated attendees
- 240activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $950for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the room, so this figure does not change if you move the event down the road. event67 has no floor-plan or booking product — the venue handles the space, the app handles the people in it.
