All About the Expo

THE EXPO:

The Hawaii Buildings, Facilities & Property Management Expo provides a convenient and efficient showcase for the products, services and equipment utilized by owners, managers and operations personnel from Hawaii’s buildings, facilities and property management firms Although as many as 20 or more free industry seminars are offered, the primary objective of the Expo is to bring industry-related professionals with purchasing authority or influence together with suppliers and contractors for an effective business and trade environment in the exhibit hall for all exhibitors and attendees.

THE MARKET:
Hawaii’s total population is more than1.4 million.
The City & County of Honolulu is the state capital as well as the business, financial, urban and transport center encompassing the entire Island of Oahu. The metropolitan population is over one million, and In 2019 more than 10 million visitors visited Hawaii from around the world. The visitor industry offers 70,000 hotel rooms, resort condos and vacation rentals plus 3,000 foodservice establishments. Hawaii is also home to major military bases of the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard and Coast Guard. Census information from the State of Hawaii’s government agencies including the Dept. of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, the Dept. of Land Utilization and the Property Divisions of the Hawaii Counties indicates, excluding single family homes, that there are nearly 9,000 major residential, commercial and government buildings and facilities statewide. Hawaii’s limited land mass encourages design solutions favoring more vertical and “green” construction projects. A 21-mile mass transit system is also being built along the Honolulu urban core.
