Access and arrival
4 km (2.5 mi) to Hilo International Airport (ITO). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
The published number for the venue is +1-808-934-7010.
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
A fixed-seat house suits a single-track programme: keynotes, panels, award ceremonies and film. It does not suit a trade floor, banqueting or anything that needs the seats to move, so pair it with a nearby function room if you need both.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
The app bill, at this size
Take 240 people through the door in Palace Theater — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Hilo. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.

- 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.
