Jehovah Witnesses book 2 meetings at covention center

Advertiser Staff

The Christian Congregation of the Jehovah Witnesses of Hawai'i has booked its two international meetings at the Hawai'i Convention Center in the fall of 2009, giving the center a boost during a traditionally slow time.

The meetings, set for Nov. 19–22 and Nov. 26–29, are expected to draw a total of 24,000 attendees. They are expected to generate more than $100 million in visitor spending and more than $9.5 million state tax revenue.

The group last held its international congregation event at the center in 2003.
