Concord, NH — PDR Strategies has launched The PIO Calendar (https://piocalendar.com), a free, centralized online resource designed to help public information officers (PIOs) and public-sector communicators find training, conferences, and professional development opportunities in one place.

The PIO Calendar currently includes nearly 200 training events and conferences from organizations across the United States, representing federal, state, local, academic, nonprofit, and professional associations. The site is searchable and filterable, allowing users to quickly identify opportunities by format, topic, and location.

PIOs often rely on fragmented sources—such as listservs, emails, and social media posts—to learn about professional development opportunities. The PIO Calendar was created to reduce that fragmentation and provide a single, neutral reference point for the profession.

“The goal was simple,” said Paul Raymond, Jr., founder of PDR Strategies. “Public information officers shouldn’t have to hunt across dozens of websites to plan professional development. The PIO Calendar brings those opportunities together in one place and makes training easier to find, track, and plan.”

The calendar is free to use and community-supported. Organizations that host PIO-related trainings, webinars, or conferences are encouraged to submit events that are not already listed. All submissions are reviewed before publication. Inclusion on The PIO Calendar does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or verification.

The PIO Calendar is maintained as a neutral professional reference tool and is part of the PDR Strategies family of resources supporting public-sector communicators nationwide.
