The American Association of Orthodontists will be holding its annual convention in the Hawaiian Islands next week. The event is expected to bring 14,500 delegates and their families to the islands, and is expected to bring in $68 million of revenue to the state’s economy. While the majority of the convention will be held on the island of Oahu at the Hawaii Convention Center, there will be post-conference educational meetings on Maui and Kauai as well.
President and CEO of the Hawaii Tourism Authority, Mike McCartney, commented, “The HTA, together with our marketing partners, remain committed to promoting the Hawaiian Islands beyond a leisure destination, and as an ideal place to conduct business.”
