About Us

Equipping emergency response professionals with the tools and confidence to tackle the industry’s biggest challenges.

What is Equipped?

Equipped is the ideal resource for emergency response professionals who seek collaborative and innovative solutions to solve today’s biggest challenges in emergency response.

Organized by JDC Events, one of Washington, D.C.’s leading event management companies, the network was built to support those who selflessly serve—such as first responders and public safety professionals—by connecting them through engaging events, interactive workshops, and valuable networking opportunities.

Events that Move Emergency Response Forward

With over 25 years in the events industry, JDC Events has worked with first responders and the people who support their efforts in our homebase of Washington, D.C., as well as throughout the United States. Our work with FirstNet and other Federal Emergency Medical Services Advisory Committees sparked a keen interest in the core issues around public safety, and it inspired us to launch Equipped.

Our goal with Equipped is to create experiences that encourage meaningful exchanges, learning, and connections for emergency response professionals. By partnering with industry experts, we deliver firsthand knowledge, best practices, and events that are not only informative but also relevant and actionable, leaving a lasting impact on attendees.
