SUMMARY:Communication Leadership Summit USA
DESCRIPTION:As the communication profession continues to evolve\, industry leaders are navigating increasingly complex challenges around AI\, trust\, reputation\, workforce engagement\, and business impact. \nThat’s why IABC\, in collaboration with Stategic\, is excited to host the Communication Leadership Summit USA (CLS USA) on 16 October 2026 in Washington\, D.C. \nUnlike a traditional conference\, CLS USA is designed as an interactive “unconference\,” where participants create the agenda and engage in peer-driven discussions on the topics most relevant to their work. This proven format fosters candid conversations\, fresh perspectives\, and practical insights from professionals across industries\, sectors\, and career stages. \nFrom corporate communicators and consultants to public affairs and internal communication professionals\, attendees will gather for a day of collaborative discussion\, fresh perspectives\, and practical problem-solving. \nBy keeping the event intentionally small\, participants can fully engage in conversations\, build new relationships\, and leave with ideas they can put into practice right away.

SUMMARY:FEMA E/L0388 Advanced Public Information Officer
DESCRIPTION:The National Response Framework (NRF) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) devote significant attention to the importance of emergency public information. Public Information Officers are key members of the ICS and EOC organizations\, and work closely with officials who are part of Multiagency Coordination Groups. PIOs advise the Incident Commander\, Unified Command\, and EOC director on public information relating to incident management. \nWith public information included as a function within NIMS and within ICS\, it is critical to address and provide training for this important element of Emergency Management. \nThe National Disaster & Emergency Management University (NDEMU) Public Information Officer (PIO) training curriculum includes courses delivered at the awareness\, basic\, advanced and master levels. The basic level course was developed by NDEMU and is managed by NDEMU or state emergency management trainers who teach basic skills and techniques for use during small\, localized\, single-agency responses; preparedness campaigns; and escalating localized responses. \nThe advanced level course teaches participants additional skills for use during escalating incidents\, including strategic communications and incident action planning as it relates to Joint Information Center (JIC) operations.
