Networking Night - Orlando sponsors
On Thursday, July 24th, PDCA-branded events took place in opposite corners of the continental United States. Folks in the Pacific Northwest attended The Seattle Social.

That same evening (a couple hours earlier when you consider the time zone difference), the PDCA Florida Chapter hosted the second in its series of Networking Nights. This event  was in Orlando and it attracted regional contractors, manufacturers, suppliers and engineers who gathered at The Porch to connect with like-minded professionals.

The newest PDCA Chapter formally incorporated in January 2025. Since that time, it has been aggressively growing its membership. One growth initiative has been hosting Networking Nights in Florida population centers. These are free receptions available to people in the driven pile industry. Attendees are able to learn more about PDCA while they enjoy industry networking and refreshments.

The Florida Chapter leadership consisting of Pres. Lina Martin, VP Dean Cacio, Treas. John Hayes and Sec. Samantha See has coordinated the Networking Nights initiative, though Pres. Martin credits another key individual: "I'm so proud of the team we've brought together. Everyone stepped up to make this event a success. I also want to give special thanks to Garret [Hogancamp] for his volunteer time and help in setting up the Orlando Networking Night."

The PDCA Florida Chapter Orlando Networking Night was made possible through the generosity of the following sponsors:
  • American Equipment & Fabricating Corp.
  • Bateman, Gordon & Sands, Inc.
  • Blue Iron Foundations & Shoring, LLC
  • Giken America
Pres. Garcia-Martin said that a big takeaway from the Orlando event and the preceding Tampa reception is that the organization is "stronger together" and produces an "unmatched energy" when members get involved. Said Martin: "These events encourage meaningful connections and result in a lasting impact. The relationships built during these events go far beyond the moment. They help move our industry forward and create real connections across our community."

Thank you to all sponsors and attendees who supported the PDCA Florida Chapter Networking Night - Orlando, through your donation and/or attendance. The next event for the Chapter is its Inaugural Golf Tournament coming back to Orlando at the Rosen Shingle Golf Course on Sept. 9th. The golf outing is held in conjunction with the annual PDCA technical conference, commonly known as DICEP. Registration for both golf and DICEP, is now open.
