Our IIDA Hawai‘i Pacific Chapter members and friends gathered for a night of fun, laughter, and connection at this year’s Membership Drive & Appreciation – Game Night, held on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at Bside in Ward Centre.
The evening brought together design professionals, students, and industry partners for friendly competition across multiple game stations, pupus, drinks, and plenty of prizes. More than just a social gathering, the event celebrated the strong sense of community that continues to grow within Hawai‘i’s design industry.
This year’s event also marked an exciting transition as we introduced and swore in the 2025–2026 IIDA Hawai‘i Pacific Chapter Board of Directors. Their leadership and passion will continue to drive our chapter forward in the year ahead.
A special congratulations goes out to our prize winners:
-
Kera Yong (Systemcenter) – Winner of a free IIDA membership for the year, selected from our all-attendee name draw.
-
Jenny Manansala (Stantec) – Winner of a free trip to an industry event, chosen from a special name draw for IIDA members only.
Mahalo to everyone who joined us, and to our sponsors and vendors who helped make the night such a success. Events like this remind us that IIDA is more than an organization — it’s an ‘ohana built on creativity, collaboration, and connection.
