Anchors & Ornaments

Description: Celebrate the season with ASNE-TW as we drop anchor for a night of holiday cheer, maritime camaraderie, and community spirit. Enjoy festive hors d’oeuvres, seasonal cocktails, and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow engineers, industry leaders, and friends.

Dress Attire:
Come as you are from the yard, office, or ship—work gear is absolutely welcome. Holiday flair is encouraged, and ugly sweaters will be applauded (and probably photographed)!

Networking Focus

This social is designed for easy, low-pressure networking—whether you’re a long-time member, a first-time guest, or a student exploring maritime careers.

  • Meet across silos: Connect with engineers, program managers, shipyard reps, vendors, and academic partners in a relaxed, informal setting.

  • Support for students & early-career professionals: ASNE-TW leaders will be available to introduce students and young professionals to potential mentors, hiring managers, and project leads.

  • Real conversations, not just small talk: Come ready to share ideas, compare notes on current challenges, and explore how we can work together to strengthen the regional maritime ecosystem.

Bring your business cards (or LinkedIn QR code), a favorite sea story, and your ideas for how ASNE-TW can better serve you and the Hampton Roads maritime community in the year ahead.
