5th Annual Exhibtion & Convention

Here is the latest news on the 2006 Exhibition - It will be held at the Marriott Hotel in Waikiki, but the dates have changed to November 3-5. This change was possible when a prior scheduled event was cancelled.

Initially the Exhibition was scheduled for the Thanksgiving weekend as it was the only weekend available from October through December. It was that weekend or not at all. The tourism business has exploded and fitting venues are difficult to reserve especially with the schedule that is required for the Exhibit - concerts, dinner, building workshops, open mike, playing seminars, etc. It was during the discussions finalizing the layouts that the cancellation came about. And so the change was made. The intent has always been to satisfy as many of the members as possible although realization is unfortunately that all can not be satisfied. We believe these dates are more attractive. Thanks for your understanding.

We now have a date and a venue - work on the details can be started. There are a lot of ideas but key is meeting the needs of the attendees. This is now our objective and we aim to please!
