SME Honolulu

SME members joined more than 400 guests for a fun evening of connection, celebration, and dancing at Honolulu's newest entertainment venue, located where the iconic Hawaiian Hut once stood. We also got a sneak peek performance from High Watah before they returned for their sold-out concert at Limelight on June 13.

Huge mahalo to the Limelight Hawaii team for having us, and to Evan Asato for these awesome photos! 📸🤙

Last month, SME Honolulu gathered at Limelight Hawaii for an evening of connection and learning with Daniel Chun of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines. ✈️

Daniel shared insights on what’s ahead for the combined airlines, including upgraded seats, carpets, and in-flight entertainment systems, expanded loyalty benefits, workforce development initiatives, and ongoing efforts to support responsible tourism and the preservation of Hawai‘i’s natural resources.

Guests enjoyed an evening of networking, onolicious pupus, and drinks at Limelight Hawaii’s state-of-the-art venue. Mahalo to everyone who joined us. We hope to see you again at an upcoming SME Honolulu event! 🌺

Special shoutout to Dave, Tony, and Evan for capturing these awesome photos!
