APEC 2011 Hawaii, the planning committee for Hawaii’s hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders Week in November 2011, has issued an RFP to develop a communications program to support the high-profile event.
The RFP is not being distributed electronically and is available only for pick-up by an agency or representative in Honolulu at the Hawaii Tourism Authority or the East-West Center.
President Barack Obama tapped his native Hawaii as the site of the meeting at last year’s event in Singapore. Heads of state, ministers and other representatives attend the annual APEC meetings to work out trade and economic issues.
The event is expected to draw more than 10,000 people to Honolulu, along with global media coverage.
The RFP document calls for pitches to produce and implement a strategic marketing, PR and communications program for the host committee.
The 2011 confab is the first in the U.S. since 1993’s meeting at Blake Island, Wash.
Information on the RFP can be obtained from rfp [at] apec2011hawaii.com.
