JDC Events’ Secret to Scalable Experiences

Sobre nosotros

FUSE 2024 intensive is a transformative one-day intensive designed to ignite fresh perspectives in event planning and community engagement. Set in the historic National Union Building in Washington, D.C. on September 18, 2024, FUSE brings together innovative event professionals, creative strategists, and thought leaders who redefine how communities are built and events are experienced.

For this flagship event, JDC Events was searching for a registration and on-site engagement partner that could deliver a seamless experience from start to finish. With the need to manage everything from online sign-ups to real-time badging, they evaluated numerous platforms before finding the complete package in InEvent. The decision was clear: InEvent offered the customization, visual appeal, and integrated engagement features necessary to set FUSE apart in a crowded market.

Desafíos

Before choosing InEvent, JDC Events explored multiple registration solutions, each offering strong features but falling short of an all-encompassing solution. They required a platform that organized the registration process and delivered a visually striking, branded experience that could aplify every interaction—from pre-event sign-ups to on-site badge creation. They were also particularly interested in finding a new photo engagement feature to consolidate event photos and bring the event’s story to life.

In our in-depth conversation with Kara Dao, COO of JDC Events, she explained the pain points they faced:

"We needed a registration system that could do it all. It wasn’t just about collecting names and emails but about creating an experience. Our previous solution managed the basics, but it couldn’t deliver the level of customization or the high-quality on-site badging we envisioned. We wanted something that would impress our attendees and our staff, and none of the other platforms checked every box."

These challenges—ensuring a flawless registration, deep customization, and standout on-site badging—pushed JDC Events to look beyond conventional options.

Soluciones

JDC Events’ search for a comprehensive solution ended when they discovered InEvent. Recognizing that every event is a story waiting to be told, InEvent stepped in with a solution that went beyond the basics:

End-to-End Registration

InEvent provided a robust system that managed everything from pre-event online registration to on-site check-ins , ensuring a smooth, reliable experience at every touchpoint.

Deep Customization & Branding

With the flexibility to fully customize the registration interface and integrate dynamic features like a photo engagement tool , JDC Events could create a branded experience that resonated with their audience.

"The open customization and unlimited conditional logic allowed us to craft an experience uniquely ours. The ability to integrate a photo app directly into the registration journey was a game-changer."

Striking On-Site Badging

InEvent’s dual approach to badging—offering both pre-printed badge stock and on-demand printing—ensured that every badge visually represented the brand’s commitment to quality.

"Everyone appreciated the look of the badges,” Kara added. “Even our staff, who weren’t sure what to expect, were impressed and already planning to use that design in our next event."

Innovative Photo Engagement with Photo Match AI

Recognizing that visual storytelling is key to modern event experiences, this tool captured and consolidated event photos in real-time and used advanced photo match AI to curate engaging galleries.

"I think that mostly what pushed us to InEvent was being able to have that photo engagement, and being able to consolidate photos into one place."

Much like how Finario embraced video marketing to stand out, JDC Events leveraged InEvent’s all-in-one platform to create an experience that simplified the registration process and elevated the overall event atmosphere.
