Mahalo nui loa for presenting/exhibiting and sharing your gifts on this exciting day!
Morning refreshments and lunch are provided on the day of the symposium.
Presenters and exhibitors may attend the full day of the symposium as their schedules allow.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any nīnau (questions) or want to talk story as you plan.
As of 12/16/24, we are anticipating about 180 people total at the event (participants, volunteers, presenters, and exhibitors).
Presentations are assigned to specific rooms in Hale ʻĀkoakoa or Hale Naʻauao. (see schedule for times and assigned rooms).
Breakout room maximum capacity:
Hale ʻĀkoakoa, 160C: 30 attendees
Hale Naʻaual, 103: 30 attendees
Hale Naʻauao, 104: 30 attendees
Hale Naʻauauo, 105: 30 attendees
Hale Naʻauao, 125: 30 attendees
A room support person will be available to assist with connecting your laptop to the display (as needed), placing signage on the door when the session is full, and showing a 5 and 10 minute reminders near the end of the session time.
The primary point-of-contact has editing access to the session materials folder. This folder is provided to assist with sharing digital materials, if any. Materials for symposium participants may include information and no-cost resources (not commercial in nature).
The overarching theme is "Weaving Traditional Practices Back Into Health Education." Native and Polynesian-introduced trees (and large shrubs) are featured as our visual theme.
This symposium primarily supports Health Education implementation in PreK-12 classrooms. Most participants will likely be classroom teachers. There may also be other HIDOE staff from schools or complex areas (e.g., counselors, school-based behavioral health specialists, resource teachers, administrators).
The schedule will allow for 10 minutes of passing time for participants to move between sessions. Presenters should plan to end on time to allow other presenters time for set-up.
All breakout spaces include a projector with HDMI input, adapter, display (projector screen or TV monitor), wifi, AC, and an extension cord. The audio is integrated through the display set-up.
Presenters will be responsible for bringing their own laptop, presentation remote (clickers), and any printed materials for the breakout session participants.
It is also recommended that presenters bring any adapters for connecting their laptops to the projector's HDMI input as a backup.
Participants will be allowed to choose their sessions on the day of the symposium. Participants will be encouraged to bring a fully charged internet-ready device (e.g., laptop, tablet) to use as needed throughout the symposium.
Presenters should plan for approximately 15-25 participants during each breakout session.
Please consider how this proposed session might support "weaving traditional practices back into Health Education" and engage participants in:
sharing moʻolelo (stories) of health, resilience, and well-being that lead to a healthful and thriving Hawaiʻi;
experiencing and learning about strategies and resources to support skills-based Health Education through a lens of HĀ;
considering ways that Health Education can contribute to conditions for thriving in their schools and communities; and/or
connecting with other educators and health-supporting organizations.

As of 12/16/24, we are anticipating about 180 people total at the event (participants, volunteers, presenters, and exhibitors).
Exhibits may display information or distribute no-cost resources to attendees. These materials must be non-commercial in nature.
Exhibits will need to fit on a single 6 foot table. Table size may be 30"x72" or 20"x70", pending availability.
Table locations are assigned (See Exhibit Map).
The peak traffic times will most likely be first thing in the morning during registration, after the keynote, and during lunch.
Each exhibit will have a different native bird stamp. Participants are encouraged to collect stamps in their learning journal. You may leave the stamp out for participants to use on their own or use the stamp as a tool to encourage a brief interaction.
