Kāʻanapali Beach
Three miles of golden sand right outside the resort. The cliff-diving ceremony at Black Rock is a Kāʻanapali tradition, performed every evening at sunset.
The 12th International Breast Density & Cancer Risk Assessment Workshop convenes June 2–4, 2027 at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa on Kāʻanapali Beach. Three days of frontier breast-imaging research at one of Maui's premier oceanfront resorts — single-track program, ocean at every break, and three miles of golden sand right outside the door.
The Place
An island that earns its reputation
Maui is the kind of place that makes people overstay their flights. Kāʻanapali Beach, on the island's leeward west side, runs for three miles of golden sand and reliably calm water. Past attendees have called the Hawaiʻi venues the most memorable settings of any breast-imaging meeting — the science doesn't slow down, but every break has the Pacific in it.
The Resort
Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa
A 40-acre oceanfront property at the south end of Kāʻanapali Beach — with everything the workshop needs in one walkable footprint.
Open-air design throughout, with a koi-and-swan-filled courtyard, four restaurants, a tropical pool grotto, and direct beach access. All workshop meeting rooms — general session, registration, exhibits, and breakouts — are a short walk from the guest towers.
General sessions run Wednesday June 2 through Friday June 4, 2027. The contracted group block extends from May 30 through June 5 so early arrivals and late departures can stay at the same property at the workshop rate.
Included with every guest room
A daily resort services fee is rolled into the room rate and covers a generous set of property amenities, including:
- Welcome lei on arrival
- Kāʻanapali Trolley (free loop)
- Daily yoga and fitness classes
- Oceanfront Stay-Fit Gym
- Two pickleball passes per room
- Two reusable water bottles per room
- Pool towel service (24/7)
- Beach chair rental
- Cultural programs (lei-making, hula, wildlife)
- 15% off Kāʻanapali Golf greens fees

Travel
Getting to Maui
Maui's main commercial airport is Kahului (OGG) on the east side of the island. From the U.S. mainland, OGG is served by direct flights from major West Coast hubs — including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, and Salt Lake City — typically 5 to 6 hours nonstop. Seasonal direct service from Dallas and Chicago is sometimes offered. Travelers from elsewhere usually connect through Honolulu (HNL) or a West Coast hub.
From OGG to the resort
Hyatt Regency Maui sits on Kāʻanapali Beach, about 28 miles (45–60 minutes by car) from Kahului airport via Honoapiʻilani Highway (HI-30). The hotel does not operate a complimentary airport shuttle. Common options:
- Rental car. Most flexible. All major agencies have counters at OGG. Self-parking at the resort is normally $35/night, reduced to $15/night for our group.
- Rideshare (Uber, Lyft). Both serve OGG. A one-way ride to Kāʻanapali typically runs in the range of $80–110 plus tip, depending on time of day and demand.
- Shared airport shuttle. Several operators run scheduled vans between OGG and the Kāʻanapali resorts; book in advance.
- Taxi or pre-arranged private transfer. Available at the OGG curb or by advance booking.
Around Kāʻanapali
The Hyatt's resort fee covers the Kāʻanapali Trolley, a complimentary loop service connecting the Kāʻanapali resorts, Whalers Village (shopping and dining), and the beachfront — useful if you'd rather not drive once you're settled. Most of Kāʻanapali Beach is also walkable from the resort.
