let's take it online

Social distancing doesn't mean social isolation! Organizations large and small are postponing and canceling in-person events as the world grapples with the COVID-19 Pandemic. While networking face to face is best, if there's anything tech-savvy groups do well, it's online collaboration.

We open this seventh issue of the Hawaii Slack newsletter with an open invitation to you to bring your team, club, meetup group or social circle into our 'ohana. We would be happy to set you and your friends up with a dedicated public or private channel where you can focus on your mission, but meanwhile interact with the broader innovation community!

While you can share our sign-up form on social media, you can use this special link with your organization to bypass the sign-up form and bring them into Hawaii Slack right away!
