The UH Hilo Conference Center (UHHCC), internationally recognized for their professional event management services, has been directing, coordinating and implementing national, and international conferences for over 18 years. With a primary focus on scientific meetings, the UHHCC continues to host prestigious meetings in the fields of geology, astronomy, physics, chemistry, agriculture and a host of other disciplines including sustainable energy, tourism, and sociology.

The University, by virtue of its unique location, has become the hub of Pacific Rim conferencing, and Hilo, with its multi-lingual and multi-cultural population, academic resources, and networking capabilities, presents itself as a prime location for national and international conferences. With state-of-the-art facilities and technology, the Conference Center is meeting the challenges in this growing field.

Conference services include program development, fiscal management, curriculum and resource support, logistical coordination, and publicity and promotion. With the demand for the number of conferences increasing, and the organizational structure of the implementation of conferences more complex, conferencing has become an integral part of the development of the expanded services offered by UH Hilo.

UHHCC has also developed the state’s leading Educational Travel program entitled “the Hawaiian EDventure Program.” The only program to be distinguished twice with the “Best of Show” by the Hawaiʻi Visitors & Convention Bureau, the Hawaiian EDventure programs bring thousands of national and international students and visitors to campus each year. Focusing on an integrated academic, cultural and recreational program, EDventure stands as a national model for travel programs. The Conference Center webpage is at uhhconferencecenter.com/
