Dinner Meetings

Since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Orange County Section’s Dinner Meetings with a Scientific Presentation have gradually moved from virtual back to being in-person. They are held a few times a year at irregular intervals. Unless combined with special events like the High School or College Awards Dinners, they are now held at the Waters Corporation lab in Costa Mesa.
