The contractor must be able to develop, design and fabricate informative and engaging displays both of freestanding and mobile variety.

“One of the core objectives for the Host Committee is to showcase Hawaii’s unique story and businesses to the 20,000 attendees who will be in Hawaii for Leaders’ Week,” said Peter Ho, Hawaii Host Committee Chair said in a statement yesterday. “Our goal is to communicate investment ready and economic development opportunities available to the APEC Economies, demonstrating Hawaii’s capabilities as an international business partner and a premier global meetings destination.”
