WCBMA Heads to Hawaii for 2025 Annual Meeting at Mauna Lani

The West Coast Brush Manufacturers Association (WCBMA) is pleased to announce that the 2025 WCBMA Annual Meeting will be held October 19-23, 2025, at the stunning Mauna Lani, Auberge Resorts Collection on the Big Island of Hawaii. This marks the association’s first return to the Big Island since 2011 and promises to be a memorable gathering at one of Hawaii’s premier luxury destinations.

Located on the Kohala Coast, the Mauna Lani Resort offers world-class amenities in an unforgettable setting. Through exclusive arrangements, WCBMA has secured a special group rate of $375 per night (single or double occupancy, run of the house rooms), along with a reduced resort fee of $25 per day—a significant value compared to the standard rates of $776 to $897. These rates will be honored three days before and after the event for attendees wishing to extend their stay.

The meeting is open to all brush manufacturers located west of the Mississippi River, as well as industry suppliers. Based on early interest and past feedback, the 2025 event is expected to draw strong attendance.
