TechHui

Hawaiʻi's Technology Community

Aloha TechHuians,

Hau'oli Makahiki Hou! I hope the holidays treated you well.

Many thanks to all the participants in last month's TechHui conference including the speakers, panelists, sponsors and organizers. It was a tough time of year to do a conference (my fault for being in NY and Tokyo on business during the usual time), but we pulled it off. This year I was overwhelmed with work and being a new dad so I especially appreciated all the help from UH Pacific New Media, HI CapacityIgnite, ThinkTech and IGDA. I also want to thank our sponsors, HTDC with DCCA, IkayzoMigration Counsel, PubCon and Hannah Miyamoto from the UH-M Mechanical Engineering / Business SAE team who were kind enough to share their inventions with us at the conference. 

I thoroughly enjoyed Garrett's keynote and all the sessions. Session organizers Dan Zelikman, Todd Robertson, Gordon Bruce, Forest Frizzell, Yuka Nagashima, Robert Brewer and Rama MacIntosh did a fantastic job as did all the panelists. I'm very happy Christine Koroki, Chris Ota and their friends from HI Capacity brought Ignite to the conference this year. The Ignite presenters covered a wide variety of interesting technology and design topics. We've decided to make it a tradition so look for Ignite at all future TechHui Conferences.

As always, we appreciate feedback to help us improve future conferences.
