Corporate
Every corporate gathering starts with a question: What do you want to accomplish during your time together? The answer to this question becomes the cornerstone of our corporate events planning strategy, whether we’re working on a conference, trade show, or team retreat. After all, time is valuable, and our goal is to ensure that your event is time well spent.
Supplier Diversity Events
At JDC Events, we stand firmly on the pillars of quality, diversity, and innovation. A supplier diversity program is a proactive business program that encourages using minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, LGBTQ-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, historically underutilized businesses, and Small Business Administration (SBA)-defined small businesses as suppliers.
By aligning your corporate goals with supplier diversity initiatives, you foster inclusivity and drive positive social change. Collaborate with JDC to host your next supplier diversity event and engage with a wide range of diverse suppliers, enabling valuable connections and unlocking new business opportunities.
Trade Shows & Annual Events
Our team understands the significance of trade shows, sales summits, product launches, and annual meetings in propelling your business forward. We step beyond the confines of a traditional ballroom or convention center when designing a trade show, seamlessly integrating theaters, activations, networking lounges, and interactive, hands-on workshops within the show floor. Our meticulous logistics management, from scheduling, booth orders, registration, and staffing, to top-notch security arrangements, ensures a smooth onsite experience for buyers and sellers. Whether your goal is to maximize customer engagement, drive growth, or target new markets, we devise the optimal event strategy to bring your brand to life and tell your story.
Team Building and Retreats
Are you looking to establish camaraderie among a remote workforce or re-center your team after a transition? JDC Events specializes in curating relaxed, fun, and engaging in-person corporate retreats and team building events tailor-made to meet your specific goals. Whether hosting at your corporate headquarters or jet setting to a destination, JDC Events will serve as operational events support, managing all pre-event logistics and the onsite implementation of single-day or multi-day programs, thereby freeing up your internal team to focus on content development and foster meaningful connections.
Galas & Social Events
Whether you’re planning a stand-alone celebration or incorporating it into a larger program like a multi-day conference, our expertise ensures a seamless and unforgettable experience. From company anniversaries to centennial celebrations, cocktail receptions to awards dinners, we collaborate with you to create the perfect mix of programming, networking, and entertainment that resonates with your audience. We go beyond surface-level engagement, creating meaningful connections and moments that your attendees will cherish.

Corporate Event Case Study: Bonaventure
In summer 2022, Bonaventure held an Investor Day event to inform investors about Bonaventure’s practices and future, court current investors, and onboard new investors. Over 60 current and potential investors attended. With a six-week turnaround, the JDC team worked to establish the client’s vision, advised on best practices, researched and secured venues in Old Town Alexandria, managed event logistics, and coordinated onsite vendors.
Bonaventure’s point of contact said upper management and investor attendees alike expressed their enthusiasm for the smooth run of the successful event, as well as the JDC team’s organization, communication, and dedication.
