Purely by coincidence, PDCA has scheduled a Midwest-based, networking reception on the date many people consider 'Star Wars Day,' May 4th, (if you're not familiar, think May the Fourth Be With You.) There will be no formal observance of the widely popular sci-fi movie franchise during the PDCA event in Chicago, but if you show up to the gathering with some acknowledgement of the George Lucas media empire, we won't turn you away. After all, the venue where the reception will take place, Revolution Brewing, is one of Chicagoland's top local breweries and it regularly caters to Star Wars fans from near and far who attend an annual comic and entertainment expo there, (see the accompanying photo, Revolution sponsors 'The Yard,' or the beer garden at this event.)

Back to the Mid-America Meet-Up, PDCA invites contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, and engineers serving the pile driving industry in the Midwest to join us for the FREE reception on May 4th. If you're feeling festive and want to don your Star Wars gear, show up in a Cubs or Cards jersey, be like Mike, run in like Sweetness, dress like Jake or Elwood or impersonate Al Capone, we won't turn you away. We are excited to hold this event in a crucial region for pile driving. 

Members of PDCA and non-members alike are encouraged to attend, but we ask that you please reserve your seat by registering in advance of the Mid-America Meet-Up. If you are interested, sponsorship for this event is also available. Please see the event flier below and click on it to register or sponsor.
