Aloha & Welcome to the 2025 AYSO EXPO, May 1-4, 2025.

Mahalo for registering to attend this year’s 2025 AYSO EXPO at the Alohilani Resort Hotel in Waikiki. This letter serves as your confirmation and that we are excited to have you attend this annual event. The weekend will be filled with opportunities to learn more about AYSO through education and training, but more importantly, a chance for you to meet other AYSO volunteers to network and share stories of your experiences in AYSO.

Here is some helpful information to prepare for the EXPO:

PRIOR to the EXPO:

1.    We ask that you go to AYSOU to pre-register for the classes you are interested in taking. To look for the classes being offered, make sure the calendar is on May 2025 and enter Honolulu, HI. The list of scheduled classes will populate.  From here you can pre- register. Pay attention to those classes that have pre-course work to complete prior to the class being offered at the EXPO. You must complete the pre-course work first otherwise you won’t be allowed to attend the companion class being offered

The HOTEL:

1.        Alohilani Resort is a big hotel with a not-so-big parking lot. Please come early, or carpool if you can. There are 2 self-park entrances; one on Kuhio Ave. and one on Liliuokalani Ave. (one-way headed mauka). The EXPO registration desk will validate your ticket.  Validated self-parking is $10 per car. Valet parking is also available at a discounted     cost of $45 per day with validation, also available at the EXPO registration desk.      Please check to see if your region will be picking up your parking expenses before      you arrive. If your region is not covering parking for you, you will owe the registration desk $10 at the time of validation for self-parking, or $45 for valet parking.

2.        In case the self-park lot is full, alternative parking site suggestions include the Zoo OR the Waikiki Shell. The cost for parking at the Zoo is prepaid at a kiosk at $1.50 per hour with a maximum of 4 hours but if you input your cell phone number into the kiosk, they will call you before your time expires and you can add time via your cell phone at the hourly rate plus an additional $1.50. Parking at the Waikiki Shell ranges between $6-$8, as long as you don’t leave your car there past 5:00 pm.

3.        For those of you staying at the hotel, check-in time is 3:00 pm.

THE EXPO

1.        The EXPO Registration desk will be located on the 6th floor foyer of the Alohilani Grand Ballroom. The easiest way to access this floor is to use the self-park elevators, which will take you right to the floor.  If you enter the hotel through the lobby and take the elevator  to your left opposite the check-in desk, it will take you to the 3rd floor only. This is where most of the EXPO classes will be, but if you need to go to the 6th floor, you will have to change elevators. Just follow the signs.

2.        On the first day you attend, you will need to check-in at the EXPO Registration desk. You will receive a badge, meal tickets, program booklet, and goodie bag.  You will also be able to validate your self-park or valet ticket.
