National magazine recognizes Hawaii Convention Center

Advertiser Staff

The Hawai'i Convention Center recently marked its 10th anniversary with its 10th consecutive Prime Site Award from Facilities & Destinations magazine.

The Prime Site Awards are decided by meetings and conventions industry leaders directly involved with site selection: promoters, booking agents and event planners. Voting is based on convenience of location, facility attractiveness and maintenance, professionalism of staff, cuisine, and technological capabilities.

Facilities and Destinations has described the center as a striking facility designed from the input of convention planners with 200,000 square feet of exhibit hall space and 100,000 square feet of meeting room space, consisting of 49 meeting rooms and two presentation theaters with tiered seating, and a 36,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom.
