Hawaiʻi AI & Cloud Innovation Summit

Honolulu, HI | November 5, 2026 | Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort

Join Hawaiʻi’s Leading Tech Summit Where Innovation Meets Implementation

PRESENTED BY

ABOUT THE EVENT

The 5th Hawaiʻi AI & Cloud Innovation Summit is where the people who can move the state forward sit in the same room. For five years, this Summit has built the awareness, the capacity, and the solidarity to take AI seriously in our islands. This year we take up the harder question: how do you actually put it to work? The morning main stage lays out where Hawaiʻi’s economy is heading and why AI self-reliance matters, which in practice means locally governed AI: infrastructure, data, and decisions we control. The afternoon hands leaders the playbooks to act on it, from moving pilots into production, to building the governance foundations that make AI durable, to growing AI-ready talent in a way that honors how we work here. 

The Summit is convened by TRUE Initiative in partnership with DBEDT/HTDC and the Hawaiʻi Executive Collaborative, and it is built around a table where government, industry, academia, and philanthropy sit as equals. Every session is measured against a single question: does this help Hawaiʻi build a stronger economy and create jobs here at home? Our partners are co-creators in that work. Done the Hawaiʻi way, AI self-reliance means using these tools to help people accomplish more and to create new work. Proven here, it becomes a model other places can follow. 

When: Full Day Event, November 5 from 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM
Where: Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort
Investment: $99 General Admission
Includes: Lunch and coffee breaks

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This Summit is built for the people who can commit an organization to a direction. 

  • Business and technology leaders setting AI strategy and accountable for making it work 
  • State and county leaders shaping the policy, procurement, and programs that set Hawaiʻi’s pace 
  • Academic and philanthropic leaders building the talent pipeline and deciding where capital goes 
  • Workforce and HR leaders responsible for hiring, reskilling, and growing AI-ready teams 

You will leave with a use case to pursue, a governance habit to adopt,  and the relationships to carry them out.

CONFERENCE TOPICS

Morning Keynotes & General Sessions

The Future of AI Self-Reliance in Hawaiʻi 
Peter Schwartz, Chief Futurist, Salesforce 

What would it take for Hawaiʻi to shape its own AI future rather than simply adopt tools built elsewhere? This keynote looks ahead at the forces reshaping how organizations work, the choices that will separate places that lead from places that follow, and the scenarios Hawaiʻi should be preparing for now. Attendees will leave with a longer view of what AI self-reliance can mean for an island economy, and the decisions leaders can make today to move toward it. 

Early AI Adoption in Hawaiʻi’s Essential Industries 
Deena Tearney (Moderator), Founder and CEO, Pacific Point 
Ed Sniffen, Director, Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation 
Rob Nobriga, Chairman, Tradewind Capital 
Alireza Ali, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, The Blue Dot AI 

The industries that keep Hawaiʻi running are also among the first to put AI to work. Leaders from government and industry share where AI is already delivering value, what early adopters learned the hard way, and how they balanced innovation with the reliability their communities depend on. This session offers a practical look at what adoption and innovation look like in essential operations, and what other organizations can take from those early experiences. 

Inside the Government Perspective on AI Adoption 
William Kumagai (Moderator), Executive Director, Transform Hawaiʻi Government (THG)
Christine Maii Sakuda, State Chief Information Officer, Office of Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) 
Vince Hoang, State Chief Information Security Officer, ETS
Rebecca Cai, State Chief Data Officer, ETS 

How is the State of Hawaiʻi approaching AI, and what does it mean for residents, agencies, and the businesses that work with them? State technology leaders discuss how government is evaluating and adopting AI, how they are managing data, privacy, and public trust, and where they see opportunities to partner with the private sector. Attendees will gain a clear view of the State’s priorities and how to engage with them. 

 

Afternoon Specialized Tracks

Breakout Track 1: AI Playbooks

Write Your Responsible AI Ground Rules 
Dr. Adam Jansen (Moderator), State Archivist, State of Hawaiʻi
Jessica Young, Director, Science & Technology Policy, Office of the Chief Scientific Officer, Microsoft 
Before an organization can scale AI with confidence, it needs clear ground rules. This session walks through how to define responsible AI principles that fit your organization, covering fairness, transparency, privacy, and accountability, and how to turn them into practical guidelines your teams can actually follow. Attendees will leave with a starting framework for writing their own ground rules and a clearer sense of who should be involved in shaping them. 

The Journey in AI Adoption for Hawaiʻi-Grown Companies 
Ailin John (Moderator), Senior Manager, IT Enterprise Enablement Services, HMSA
David Cheong, 
Chief Information Officer, ABC Stores
Pete Dooher, Senior Vice President, Digital, Servco Pacific 
Jason Higa, Chief Executive Officer, FCH Enterprises (parent entity of Zippy’s)

Ground rules are the start; playbooks are how they come to life. Leaders from kamaʻāina companies share how their organizations are putting AI to work in ways that reflect Hawaiʻi’s values and serve island communities. Panelists discuss how they turn principles into repeatable practices, what they have learned by working through shared challenges together rather than alone, and how local companies can build AI know-how that stays at home. 

    Breakout Track 2: Practitioner Foundations  

    Foundations First: Getting Your Data AI-Ready 
    Nadia Hansen, Global AI Go-To-Market Leader, Public Sector, Salesforce 
    AI is only as reliable as the data beneath it. This session covers the groundwork every organization needs before scaling AI: finding and connecting the data that matters, improving its quality, and protecting sensitive information along the way. Practitioners will learn how to assess their data readiness, spot the gaps that most often stall AI projects, and prioritize the fixes that make everything built on top more accurate and trustworthy. 

    From Skills to Agents: Building AI Automation Your Organization Owns 
    Todd Nacapuy, Chief Information Officer and Partner, Accuity 
    Most organizations have experimented with AI, but few have moved from pilots to systems they rely on every day. This session closes that gap. We’ll demystify the difference between AI skills and agents, then walk through the progression from your first skill to full custom applications. Real examples include building a full team of virtual agents that can do actual work. You’ll learn why treating agents like team members, with clear personas and defined roles, makes them more reliable, and what it costs to sustain these systems at scale. This session is for decision-makers and practitioners ready to move from “playing with AI” to building automation their teams understand, control, and own. 

      Breakout Track 3: People-Powered AI 

      People-Powered AI: Shaping Open Models to a Community’s Values
      David Pickett,
      Chief Technology Officer, Purple Maiʻa Foundation
      Ethan Gaspar, Intern, Purple Maiʻa Foundation
      Most organizations adopt AI on someone else’s terms: someone else’s servers, someone else’s model, someone else’s values.
      Purple Maiʻa, a Hawaiʻi nonprofit, is building another path they call the Sovereign Stack. David Pickett will walk through infrastructure: open models on hardware Purple Maiʻa owns, running production AI applications on Maui today, with routing that keeps sensitive work on machines the organization controls. Ethan Gaspar will cover governance, alignment, and training. Purple Maiʻa is drafting a written AI constitution, adapted from open-source examples and grounded in Native Hawaiian values and the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance. The work is to shape an open-weight model to it with constitutional AI and fine-tuning on community feedback, then evaluate the result in blind side-by-side comparisons.
       

      Growing Hawaiʻi’s AI Workforce from Within 
      Kelly J. Ueoka, President, Pacxa 
      Hawaiʻi can grow its AI talent. Drawing on a track record of successful workforce development initiatives, this session shows how local organizations can build AI capability through internships and hands-on, work-based learning. Using Pacxa’s Huakaʻi program as an example, attendees will see how early-career talent can deliver real results when given meaningful work, strong mentorship, and room to build. Leaders will leave with practical ideas for developing homegrown talent that strengthens both their organizations and Hawaiʻi’s economy. 

      Afternoon Plenary 

      Capital, Capability, and AI That Benefits Hawaiʻi
      Donavan Kealoha, Co-Founder, Purple Maiʻa Foundation and Managing Director, Startup Capital Ventures x SBI
      Dawn Lippert
      , Founder and CEO, Elemental Impact and General Partner, Earthshot Ventures
      This closing panel brings an investor’s perspective to what the growth of AI means for Hawaiʻi’s energy, infrastructure, economic development, and climate goals. Panelists discuss where the capital is moving, what it takes to build and fund local companies, and how Hawaiʻi can think strategically about where it has a real opportunity to lead rather than follow. The through line is benefit: how the growth of AI can strengthen Hawaiʻi’s economy, its communities, and the systems everyone here depends on.
