The PIO Calendar Monthly Roundup (July 2026)

Opening Briefing from Paul

June was an incredible month for The PIO Calendar. Thanks to your support, we celebrated our busiest month since launch, setting new records for both page views and unique visitors. We also experienced the highest number of event submissions in a single week, and for the first time, search engines became our number one source of traffic, surpassing social media. Later this week, we’ll share another exciting milestone: The PIO Calendar now appears on the first page of Google—often in the top five results—for searches like “PIO Training,” “PIO Webinar,” and “PIO Conference.” Achieving that level of visibility without paid advertising or SEO services is a significant milestone and reflects the growing value of this community.

July is already shaping up to be another strong month. The calendar currently features 253 upcoming events across 43 states, including 16 highlighted opportunities such as FEMA E/L0388 Advanced Public Information Officer, L0105 Public Information Basics, the 2026 3CMA Annual Conference, and the ND Public Information Officers Association 2026 Training Conference. Looking ahead, you’ll also find 24 conferences over the next 180 days, 50 trainings over the next 120 days, and 4 webinars in the next 90 days. Since launch, The PIO Calendar has welcomed 17,752 visits, including 3,655 visits in the last 30 days, demonstrating continued growth and demand for a trusted source of public information opportunities.

If your organization is planning a PIO training, webinar, conference, workshop, or networking event, I encourage you to submit it to The PIO Calendar. Every event helps another communicator discover an opportunity to learn, connect, and grow. Thank you for being part of this growing community, and I wish you and your family a safe, enjoyable, and happy Fourth of July!
