We are Open for Business

At PIDC, our top priority is the health and well-being of our employees, clients, partners, and community. As the situation regarding COVID-19 continues to evolve, PIDC is staying in close contact with our local and regional partners.

We continuously review and assess the recommendations and requirements put out by the City of Philadelphia Department of Public Health, as well as the World Health Organization and the CDC, and implement necessary precautions and protective steps.

We recognize that this pandemic is significantly impacting our economy and your business. Please know that PIDC remains a resource for you. We will continue to make communication a top priority during this evolving situation.

In response to the recommendations and guidelines, PIDC is taking the following steps:

A Message From Our President: See email.

Business Builder Workshops: All workshops will be moving to online webinars. You can continue to RVSP online and you will be provided with the webinar link closer to the event date.

PIDC Offices: Our offices are physically closed and contingency plans are in place to ensure business continuity. Our staff is working remotely to continue providing the same excellent client service that you have come to expect from us.
