Hawaii Wedding Pros Networked, Socialized, and Got A Great Overview of SEO at OWA April Meeting

Hawaii Wedding Professionals got together on Tuesday, April 27, at The Bridal Boutique to learn, network, and socialize at the April Oahu Wedding Association meeting.

Keynote speaker Ben Marumoto with Hawaii SEO School gave a very interesting and informative presentation on Search Engine Optimization that was helpful for both people new to SEO and people who are familiar with the concepts.

Musician Craig Matsumoto with Streams Hawaii played a good mix of upbeat and relaxing music to set the mood before and after Ben's presentation.

Of course, no meeting would be complete without the great food! The desserts in particular, made by Shya Tran with Sweetie Puffs, were exceptional.
