The PIO Calendar continues to evolve as a central hub for public information officers and communicators.
Today’s update introduces a new homepage feature designed to make it easier to discover relevant events quickly and efficiently.
New: Homepage Event Tabs
The PIO Calendar homepage now includes a tabbed view that highlights key event categories at a glance.
This includes:
- Upcoming Events
- Recently Submitted Events
- Most Viewed Upcoming Events
- Featured Events
This new layout provides a faster, more intuitive way to explore what is happening across the profession without needing to search or filter.
Each tab offers a different lens into the calendar, helping users quickly identify opportunities based on timing, popularity, or priority.
Why We Built This
As the PIO Calendar continues to grow, so does the volume and variety of events being added.
With that growth comes the need to make discovery easier.
This update was designed to:
- Surface the most relevant events immediately
- Highlight new additions to the platform
- Showcase events gaining traction across the community
- Provide visibility to featured and priority opportunities
Rather than relying on a single chronological list, the homepage now reflects multiple ways professionals engage with the calendar.
What This Means for the Platform
The homepage is no longer just a starting point. It is now a curated snapshot of activity across the PIO Calendar.
With this update, users can:
- Quickly find the next upcoming opportunities
- See what has recently been added
- Identify events drawing the most interest
- Discover featured events prioritized by organizations and partners
This creates a more dynamic and user-focused experience while maintaining the simplicity of the platform.
Help Improve the Calendar
As more events are submitted, these tabs become even more valuable.
If you are hosting a training, webinar, conference, or networking opportunity, consider submitting your event.
Each submission helps strengthen the platform and ensures the PIO community has access to timely, relevant opportunities.
