In the middle of the vast Moananuiākea, Hawaiʻi lies at the crossroads of a rapidly changing world – the intersection of heaven and earth, of east and west, of tradition and innovation. The global pandemic of 2020-2021 has further accelerated the changes already compelling us to reimagine our future. Our collective success in preserving the Hawaiʻi we love for future generations is dependent upon our ability to navigate this intersection.
Literally translated, Ka Huina refers to an intersection or nexus. This term serves as the central theme to this conference, now in its third year, that will explore the nexus in Hawaiʻi of community, culture, tourism and sustainability.
Ka Huina 2021 will be convened as a series of four one-day virtual conferences, offering an easy-to-digest three-hour Friday afternoon session, concluding with music for your Aloha Friday. Ka Huina 2021 will be presented via Zoom at no charge to attendees.
