Welcome to the 5th Annual Hawaii AI and Cloud Innovation Summit! The 5th Hawaiʻi AI & Cloud Innovation Summit is where the people who can move the state forward sit in the same room. For five years, this Summit has built the awareness, the capacity, and the solidarity to take AI seriously in our islands. This year we take up the harder question: how do you actually put it to work? The morning main stage lays out where Hawaiʻi’s economy is heading and why AI self-reliance matters, which in practice means locally governed AI: infrastructure, data, and decisions we control. The afternoon hands leaders the playbooks to act on it, from moving pilots into production, to building the governance foundations that make AI durable, to growing AI-ready talent in a way that honors how we work here. The Summit is convened by TRUE Initiative in partnership with DBEDT/HTDC and the Hawaiʻi Executive Collaborative, and it is built around a table where government, industry, academia, and philanthropy sit as equals. Every session is measured against a single question: does this help Hawaiʻi build a stronger economy and create jobs here at home? Our partners are co-creators in that work. Done the Hawaiʻi way, AI self-reliance means using these tools to help people accomplish more and to create new work. Proven here, it becomes a model other places can follow. When: Full Day Event, November 5 from 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM Where: Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort Investment: $99 General Admission Includes: Lunch and coffee breaks WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This Summit is built for the people who can commit an organization to a direction. Business and technology leaders setting AI strategy and accountable for making it work State and county leaders shaping the policy, procurement, and programs that set Hawaiʻi’s pace Academic and philanthropic leaders building the talent pipeline and deciding where capital goes Workforce and HR leaders responsible for hiring, reskilling, and growing AI-ready teams You will l
