After a long day of meetings, delegates from the APEC CEO summit gathered Thursday evening at The Royal Hawaiian for the Ka Pilina Aina welcome reception. Aside from being able to sample some local favorites like poke, teri beef, Kahuku shrimp and haupia, various stations around the hotel introduced visitors to Hawaii’s rich music and culture.

Members of the APEC organizing committee were on hand to host the event along with several of Hawaii’s local political leaders.
