However, Members receive benefits such as priority registration, free entry or discounted rates, as well as exclusive access to materials and Q&A features. Visit our membership page to learn more about the benefits available to our Members.

How do I register for HEA events?

How do I attend HEA events?

Due to public health considerations, many HEA events, such as our Pau Hana discussions, have gone virtual. To attend, simply register for the event on our website, provide an email address, and check your email for a Zoom link on the day of the event. Zoom links will be sent to the email used during event registration. 

For in-person events, be sure to check the Event Details beforehand for specific event guidelines. Per State and City & County guidelines, attendees may be required to provide proof of vaccination or proof of a negative covid test taken no more than 48 hours prior to the event; persons unable to provide such proof will not be permitted to attend the event. For more information, visit our In-Person Event Policy page.

Are HEA events recorded?

Yes. For those unable to attend our virtual events, you may still view the Zoom recording after the fact. However, you must be registered for the event in order to access event materials. Links will be emailed to the address used during registration.
