As economic headwinds test employers in Hawai’i, the Hawai’i Employers Council (HEC) is hosting its 2025 Talent Summit, “Shaping Hawai’i’s Workforce of Tomorrow,” on Friday, July 11, 2025, at the Ala Moana Hotel. Building on last year’s sold-out inaugural event, this full-day conference will focus on developing organizational resilience and ensuring a sustainable workforce for the future. Designed for HR professionals, C-suite executives, workforce stakeholders, and business owners, attendees will explore actionable strategies to navigate today’s volatility while preparing for tomorrow’s growth. The summit will emphasize collaborative, peer-to-peer learning through interactive discussions addressing the mindsets necessary to withstand economic uncertainty and create a future-ready talent pipeline for the islands.

Breakout sessions offer practical ideas and real-world case studies that peers can apply immediately, while keynote speakers will challenge attendees to “think bigger” about the opportunities that lie ahead for Hawaii’s workforce.  By balancing practical skill-building breakout sessions with thoughtful keynote addresses, the summit encourages new thinking about legacy challenges. As a bonus, the event provides ample time to encourage networking among a broad array of workforce stakeholders to share experiences and solutions in an open, supportive environment.

By convening the workforce and talent community, the Talent Summit reflects HEC’s commitment to supporting Hawai’i employers navigate uncertain times. Attendees will walk away with new connections, fresh perspectives, and an actionable game plan to strengthen their organizations.
