FEAST Summit

FEAST Summit, Hawaiʻi’s Business, Hospitality & Leadership Summit, returns November 5 as part of the Hawaiʻi Food & Wine Festival at Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort.

Bringing together leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators and emerging voices from hospitality, tourism, culinary, agriculture, technology, finance, real estate, media and other industries, the full-day summit explores the ideas and forces shaping Hawaiʻi’s future.

This year’s conversations examine topics including how AI is changing the way people discover where to eat and travel, investing in the next generation of restaurants and hospitality businesses, strengthening Hawaiʻi’s local food system, developing future leaders and using food to tell Hawaiʻi’s story as a destination.

The day features keynotes, panels and discussions focused on leadership, investment, innovation, workforce, guest experience, culture, sustainability and growth. Admission also includes Nonna Knows Best Presented by HMAA, a special luncheon featuring 11 chefs celebrating the recipes, traditions and family stories that shaped their culinary journeys.

Registration opens at 7 a.m. with breakfast, and FEAST Summit programming runs from 8:30 a.m.–4:15 p.m. Business casual attire is recommended.
