About
Where Tech Meets Hawaii
Hawaii Tech Week is the one week a year when every serious tech operator in Hawaii — plus the Kama'āina diaspora and the investors and operators tracking the state — shows up in the same place. Sponsorship is the annual partnership that carries the week across the calendar: newsletters, content, and access that crescendo into one week in September.
Be seen by the people driving tech forward. From first announcement to the week of packed events.
Our site, newsletters, and media put your brand in front of a passionate network across the calendar year — then compound during the week itself.

One unforgettable week.
Sponsorship is a calendar-year partnership that crescendos into Hawaii Tech Week. Your brand runs across our channels before, during, and after the week. Our content makes sure you're noticed. You host your own event with planning and promotion support. Every tier includes tickets and presence at flagship HTW events. Pricing and the comparison table live on the packages page; the sections below walk through channels, content, your event, and anchor experiences.
Your brand and CTAs across all our channels.
Your brand shows up wherever the ecosystem looks — site, calendar, newsletters, social, and video — from the first announcement through the post-week recap.
Homepage Front door. Where the full 5,000+ person network lands first.
Highlighted in content and media.
Sizzle videos pre-week, a recap video post-week, photography throughout, and the annual report after — plus editorial coverage across channels. Sponsors get visibility during the week and a library of branded assets to use after.
Sponsor events are featured front and center of the week.
