Official HTW Kickoff Party featuring CALDEE presented by The Goods Social Club
Hawai'i Tech Week and The Goods Social Club (@thegoods.club) are partnering to kick off Hawaii’s biggest tech & creative week at The Ambassador Hotel.
We’re bringing together founders, builders, investors, curators, artists, and local creators. Drink something handcrafted, talk story, tear up the dancefloor, and win some ridiculously good giveaways.
Here’s what’s going down:
🔊 headline set by @caldee
🎟️ high-value raffles & surprises ALL NIGHT
🍹 handcrafted cocktails and tacos by @favoritesonwaikiki - FREE drinks for the first 100 attendees (first come first served!)
We're curating a powerhouse lineup of DJs:
CALDEE (@caldee): flying in all the way from LA, CALDEE is bringing an electifying set that dives deep into her signature sound that blends electronic, R&B, hip-hop, and global dance music. Note: CALDEE will return as a featured speaker the following day at the "Worldbuilding in Hawaiʻi" event.
The multi-disciplinary Yaba (@yaba.juice) seamlessly blends underground sounds in vibrant, genre-fluid sets that lock crowds to the dance floor. A masterful selector who commands the decks with excellent charisma, Yaba has established himself as a dynamic player in Honolulu's music community.
Jetlag is an open-format DJ (one of the creative forces behind The Warm Up) born and raised in Hawaii, whose sound is as global as his lifestyle. A flight attendant by day and selector by night, Jetlag draws inspiration from the sounds of the world — spinning sets that blend hip hop, R&B, reggae, edits, and global sounds. His style is rooted in his home, travels, vibe, and a deep love for music.
