Lights. Camera. Connect!
On August 20, 2026, the IIDA Hawaiʻi Pacific Chapter brought the architecture and design community together at the ʻAlohilani Resort Waikiki Beach for HiConnect 2026: A Night at the Movies!
This year’s movie-inspired theme set the stage for an afternoon and evening of networking, creativity, and connection. From imaginative, film-themed vendor booths to conversations with familiar faces and new industry friends, HiConnect offered plenty of opportunities to connect, discover, and be inspired.
Throughout the event, attendees explored the latest products and design solutions from 40 presenting vendors, enjoyed food, refreshments, and prize giveaways, and celebrated the community that makes Hawaiʻi’s design industry so special.
A heartfelt mahalo to our presenting vendors, sponsors, volunteers, planning committee, and everyone who joined us for helping bring this year’s event to life. Your participation and enthusiasm continue to make HiConnect a meaningful gathering for our local design community.
