PIO Event
Crisis Comms Day
March 25, 2027 · 8:30 AM–4:00 PM PT
Where communicators come to prepare for the moments that matter most.
Join public information officers and government communicators for a one-day event dedicated entirely to crisis communications. Featuring real-world case studies, lessons learned, practical strategies, and insights from communicators who have been there, this is a day you don’t want to miss.
The pressure is high.
Information changes quickly.
Leadership needs answers.
The media is calling.
The public expects updates.
And through all of it, communicators are responsible for helping their organizations communicate clearly, quickly and credibly.
When a crisis happens, there isn’t time to figure out your communications strategy as you go.
Crisis Comms Day was created to help you be ready before you’re in the middle of it.
Spend a day learning from communicators and experts who understand the realities of high-stakes communication and leave better prepared for the next incident your organization faces.
