PBX Hawai‘i announces new joint venture and 2024 show date
AIA Honolulu, CSI Honolulu Chapter, and General Contractors Association of Hawaii have formed a joint venture to produce PBX Hawai‘i, the state’s premier annual trade show for the construction and design industries. CSI Honolulu has been the sole producer of PBX since its inception in 2020, and the additional partners will help take the event to a new, exciting level.
This year’s event returns to the Hawai‘i Convention Center on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, with more than 200 exhibitor booths showcasing the latest products and services from local and national vendors plus 16 expert-led AIA-accredited seminars.
“We are excited to announce this new tri-party agreement that brings together the strengths and talents of these three leading organizations to present a day of education, product knowledge and networking for Hawai‘i’s architectural, engineering and construction professionals,” said Tim Waite, CSI, who serves as CSI Honolulu’s treasurer and chairman of the new joint venture.
The GCA has had the honor of collaborating with CSI Honolulu for the past few PBX events and we’re thrilled to now be formally joining forces with both CSI and AIA Honolulu to collectively offer much more for the professionals who are responsible for built spaces in our state.
