Hawaii Tech Week brings the local and global tech community together through a week of independently hosted events. Companies, founders, and community organizations create their own panels, workshops, demos, and gatherings.
Choose the events you want to attend and register with each event’s host. Joining the Hawaii Tech Week updates list keeps you informed; it does not register you for individual events.
Yes. Hosts create and run their own events, including planning, logistics, and costs. HTW helps connect those events to the wider week. Start with the host guide for requirements and planning resources. 2026 event submissions are closed.
Sponsors support the operations, marketing, and coordination of Hawaii Tech Week. Hosts organize and cover the costs of individual events. An organization can do both.
