How attendees reach it
Allow half an hour each way to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), 12 km (7.5 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
The centre of Honolulu is 5.5 km (3.4 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Honolulu has 29 venues mapped in total and a population of 344,967. The Honolulu guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and Waikiki Shell is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.
- 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.
