On the heels of hurricanes in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico - devastating fires hit California and PIOs have been tirelessly working alongside the first respondeers to keep communities informed and as safe as possible. Thank you to each one of you for the work you do every day - and especially in large scale emergencies such as this.

Now, more than ever, we want to gather in Santa Rosa and be there for each other. We have a lot to talk about - what would you like to share?

CALL FOR SPEAKERS:

The California Association of Public Information Officials (CAPIO) is looking for 2018 Annual Conference speakers and session leaders to share their knowledge and experience in communicating effectively to target audiences. Our 2018 Conference will be held in Santa Rosa at the Hyatt Vineyard Creek, April 9 - 12, 2018. 

We are looking for beginning and advanced communications topics including strategic communications, crisis communications, writing, public speaking, media relations, social media, website development, community events, photography, infographics, internal communications and more. Case studies of successful (or unsuccessful) work can be valuable learning tools.

New this year we will emphasize specific themes each day.  Highlighted themes this year include emergency and crisis response (Tuesday) and social media,  community outreach and events (Wednesday). Session speakers receive discounted conference registration.

We are also looking for webinar or regional workshop presentations. These submissions will also be considered for those opportunities as well.
