JDC Events is the solution for visionary changemakers who want to design transformative events to strengthen their communities.
We don’t leave any aspect of your event up to chance. Our EventScience™ Process anticipates, plans for, and elevates every touchpoint for every guest.
Our collaborative peer network, Fuse, empowers event organizers to transform passive event attendees into engaged, loyal participants.
Using our extensive events knowledge, we created Equipped as a resource for those who work in emergency response.
At JDC Events, we believe exceptionally executed and influential experiences are the key to strengthening your brand and building your community. Why? Because these types of experiences gather people together and ignite their passion and drive to join your cause and make a positive difference as one.
JDC Events is the partner for you if you’re the type of organization that wants to forge a new path in your industry. Enriched with decades of hands-on experience, our team provides you with integrated event planning support, innovative concepts and ideas that help you stand out, and data-driven processes that ensure rewarding events every time.
The most effective events are ones that make an impact on participants. JDC Events excels in designing and executing powerful experiences driven by your organization’s purpose—no matter the type of event, where you plan to host it, or how involved you need us to be. Our services go beyond standard event solutions by immersing ourselves in your mission. We take the time to truly understand the people you’re bringing together and their unique needs, ensuring a more meaningful experience. The outcome of our efforts allows your organization to foster community-building experiences that live on long after your event is over.
Our mission has always been to help groups unleash their full potential through the power of community connections. In addition to our work for corporate organizations, government entities, and professional associations, we’re also dedicated to finding inventive ways to help people connect and grow. Two ways we’re doing this is through our JDC Events-owned and -managed networks, Equipped and Fuse.
Equipped brings together first responders and public safety professionals to highlight innovative solutions to today’s biggest challenges in emergency response. With support from JDC Events, Equipped’s mission is to curate events and digital content to equip these individuals with vital resources, including leadership training, collaborative crisis response strategies, technological innovations, and more.
Fuse positions event organizers to create sustainable communities of trust and value. As experienced event professionals, the JDC Events team has the collective expertise to better define what “community” means for our industry and to bridge the power of shared values in building loyalty, trust, and organizational growth. Fuse is a catalyst for empowering such growth through driving attendee engagement, fostering new business relationships, and promoting purposeful participation.
