What people say after the show

This is the best career fair I’ve ever attended in 26 years of being in business…

Hawaiʻi Career Expo

The Star Events team worked very hard collaborating with our team as this was our first trade show launching the Sysco Brand in Hawaii. Their attention to detail and responsiveness was much appreciated…

Hawaiʻi Hotel & Restaurant Show

The inaugural Hawaii Hotel & Restaurant Show was a tremendous success for us. The in-person engagement with the Hawaii Foodservice industry was better than we could have hoped for.

Hawaiʻi Hotel & Restaurant Show

There was a good turnout of exhibitors and attendees with well coordinated educational and not overly loud music programs. Please keep up your good work – I’ll look forward to exhibiting at the Blaisdell next year!
