JESSICA NELSON

"Lawrence was introduced to us just by a mutual contact, and we are so grateful we are now connected! He helped us with a large group at the Hilton Hawaiian Village this past week and was so flexible and incredibly responsive. He's a quick problem solver, and always willing to say yes even when it may be difficult to accomplish. We can't wait to use him for all of our needs in Oahu!"

For event planners

Questions planners actually ask

Straight answers for teams bringing a conference, incentive, or student group to Oahu.

What does Oahu Genius handle for a meeting or conference in Hawaii?

Oahu Genius is a Honolulu destination management company, founded in 2022. For groups coming to Hawaii the work is transportation, tours and activities, on-site staffing, and special events. Planners book one of those, or the full ground program, when the meeting itself is already contracted with a hotel or the Hawaii Convention Center.

How should a planner start an inquiry?

Request a custom quote. Send the dates, which island, the approximate headcount, and which services you need. Use the enquiry form on this site, email lawrence@oahugenius.com, or call 808-799-5747. Prices are not listed. Based in Honolulu, Hawaii, with satellite offices throughout Waikīkī. Open 24 hours, every day, including holidays.

Can you move people between several Waikiki hotels and the convention center?

Yes. Citywide programs are a core job. For Pacifichem, attendees were spread across Waikiki and needed to reach the Hawaii Convention Center in an orderly way. The operation used a trolley system plus motorcoaches for key properties, with staff on the ground through the day. Send the hotel list and the session times.

What group sizes do you take?

The same services scale from an executive dinner to a program with thousands of people. Recent work includes the Pokémon World Championships (about 25,000 attendees), Pacifichem (about 10,000), the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade (about 4,000 students), and an EO dinner for about 2,000. Headcount is the first planning question because vehicles, staffing, and permits all depend on it.

Do you only work in Waikiki?

Oahu Genius serves all Hawaiian islands and specializes in large groups on Oahu. Based in Honolulu, Hawaii, with satellite offices throughout Waikīkī. Most large conference work is in Waikiki and at the Hawaii Convention Center, and programs also run at secured sites such as Ford Island and around Oahu for parades, tours, and student groups. Name the island and the venue when you enquire.

Do you publish prices?

No. Every service is a custom quote. Transportation, tours, staffing, and special events are quoted for that program after the dates, island, and headcount are known. Request a custom quote. This site does not list rates.

What should we have ready before a proposal?

Dates, including load-in, approximate attendance, the hotel list if it is a citywide, the events that need production or staffing, and any access limits such as a military base, a museum, or a permit. A finished run-of-show is not required. A one-page brief is enough to request a custom quote.

How do tours and staffing fit with transportation?

They are usually one program. Transportation gets people to the activity, local staff meet them, and the tour or event is timed to the same manifest. Booking the pieces together avoids a motorcoach arriving with nobody to receive the group. A single service can still be booked on its own.
