First I like the idea of Hawaii because flights and hotels can be inexpensive even from Europe (although Hilo might be cheaper and just as easy to get to as Honolulu). However I still think we need to account for actual participation in the equation to decide which places to hold meetings. Participation is more than just registering.

The island that would probably best address most of the concerns brought up
recently is Oahu. Large hotels on the neighbor islands tend to be resorts,
where the idea is to keep you in the one hotel while not sightseeing. While
there are several large hotels on Oahu that have meeting facilities, there
is also the Hawaii Convention Center (http://www.hawaiiconvention.com/).
Honolulu International Airport (HNL) has extensive direct connections to
North America and Asia. The hotels in Waikiki are an easy
taxi/bus/shuttle/rental car ride away. There are many restaurants and bars
(of various repute) an easy walk from the Convention Center, as well as a
major shopping center. There are several large hotels within 10 minutes
walk.
Hotel and airline prices will depend on the season. Spring and Fall would
probably be the least expensive.
The main problem would probably be finding a sponsor.
