On Wednesday, March 25, 2026, PMI Orange County members and guests gathered at the scenic Newport Sea Base for an evening of meaningful connection, professional development, and great conversation (with good food).

The event offered something for everyone. At the Mock Interview Stations, attendees had the opportunity to sharpen their interview skills through practice sessions tailored to general, IT-based, or project management-focused questions. Whether brushing up on the basics or preparing for a specific career pivot, participants walked away with both confidence and feedback.

One of the evening's most interactive moments was the LinkedIn Connection Session, where attendees took the connections they'd made in person and extended it further on LinkedIn. It was a cool way to continue building professional connections after the event.

For those looking to deepen their involvement in the project management community, the evening also featured a showcase of open volunteer positions within PMI-OC. Volunteering with the chapter is one of the most rewarding ways to expand your network, develop new skills, and give back to a profession that continues to grow and evolve.

Events like this one are a reminder of why community matters. Whether you're a seasoned PMP or just beginning your project management journey, there's a place for you in the PMI-OC family.
