🌺 Day One of APCG 2026 — Hilo, Hawaiʻi 🌺

We’re officially underway! Our first day in beautiful Hilo, Hawaiʻi, began with the Mōhalu Moon and a heartfelt Kīpaepae Welina ~ Welcoming Ceremony at Hawaiʻi Community College’s Manono Campus.

From the Hawaiʻi Keynote to Huakaʻi ~ Excursions, the day was filled with learning, connection, place, and ʻike. 🌊🌴

And to close out the day, we’ll gather downtown at Hale Kanikapila for an optional evening of music, community, and aloha. 🎶

Mahalo to everyone who helped us begin APCG 2026 in such a meaningful way. We’re grateful to be here, together, in Hilo. 💛
