Take a look at some of the highlights from this year’s APTA Business Members Annual Meeting, which was held in Honolulu Jan. 24 to 27.

This year’s program featured a technical tour of Honolulu’s new rail system, a speed networking session, a roundtable with some of the top CEOs, a look at cybersecurity, a meeting for BMBG members, and much more. The event also gave business members a chance to both meet new peers, as well as catch up with old friends.

Special thank you to Huelon Harrison from Legacy Resource Group for the assist on some of the photos.

Former Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann addressed the crowd and discussed the long road to Honolulu's new rail system.

The event had several informative sessions throughout the three-day event.

The event also gave the attendees the chance to participate in lively discussions on some of the industry's hottest topics.
