Liza Yogi founded Hawaii Business Fairs as a way for local business owners to learn more about marketing, distribution, and business development, as well as increase business opportunities.
The annual business fair is building on the success of last year’s Hawaii Body and Beauty Trade Fair offered last October.
According to Yogi, this year’s attendees will discover new business opportunities and marketing techniques, explore existing local business owner’s services and products, plus learn the importance of small business, entrepreneurship, and innovation here in Hawaii.
