What our clients say
Tom Raffetto
NW Regional Manager,
Liquitube Tire Sealant
Thank you for putting on a great show as always! Move in and move out were a piece of cake, crowds were good, sales above last year. All I can say is I do six trade shows each year and your show is by far the easiest interaction from move in to move out. Great people all around and that stems from you and goes down to the rest of your great staff.
Maxine Martin
Worthy Arts Co.
I just wanted to say how impressed I am with the organization of this year’s event. I’ve done a lot of vendor fairs and this one was one of the best. Also, a special shout out to the event staff to include the safety and security teams. They were really amazing and made my first time there feel seen and safe. I look forward to next year!
Lonny Wonder
Manager, Benton County Fair & Rodeo
We were pleased that last year they brought a fresh perspective to the planning table while respectfully listening to the Board’s interests; brought forward new events and activities that gave our fair a fresh face; and were organized, prepared, and approachable.
Mark Risen
Coach’s Salsa
First Taste Oregon was our very first show as an exhibitor for our brand new company.
Little did we know that buyers from three grocery chains, a food truck association and a food distributorship would reach out to us about our product, let alone that we would do hundred more dollars in residual sales immediately following the event!
Craig Pope
Polk County Commissioner
Through my years in business and public service I have been privileged to know a few incredibly dedicated professionals that I embrace as personal friends and mentors.
My friendship and loyalty to Scott and Jill Ingalls is rooted in an admiration for their commitment to impeccable quality of service to their customers and the resilience of their character to deliver the best possible performance of every event or organization they represent.
Samuel H. Graves
Flourishing Palm Cellars
This event was far better than in the past.
This was my third time at the First Taste. The second year was about 190% better than the first and this year was over 440% more than the first. My wines are far better but so was the effort put in by your team.
That is a great event for us.
DSP Connections
On behalf of DSP Connections, it is our pleasure to recommend 360 Events NW. We have had the opportunity to work with Scott and the 360 team for many years, and we are proud to have served as a returning annual sponsor many events they produce.
Our involvement with First Taste Oregon began when Scott invited DSP Connections to become part of the event with a purpose that went well beyond traditional sponsorship. Our mission centers around creating opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to be included in the same everyday, “ordinary” community experiences as everyone else. Scott took the time to listen to our mission, understand our why, and explore how First Taste Oregon could help bring that mission to life.
Most importantly, he followed through on that commitment with genuine passion.
Anyone who has been involved in a large event knows there are countless logistical components and inevitably unexpected challenges. What separates a great event partner is not whether challenges arise, but how they navigate them while keeping everyone focused on the purpose and success of the event. This is an area where 360 Events NW consistently excel.
From the planning stages through the day of the event, working with the 360 team is easy and dependable. We have complete trust in their ability to manage the details, communicate effectively, and execute what has been promised. Throughout each event, Scott consistently checks in with our team to ensure we are happy, our needs are being met, and everything is operating as expected. If a hiccup does occur, Scott is one of the first people present, ready to find a solution and take action.
That level of hospitality and attention has allowed our team to focus less on event logistics and more on what matters to us: connecting with the community and sharing the mission of DSP Connections.
From a sponsor’s perspective, we would give the experience a 10 out of 10 for hospitality, event quality, and meaningful exposure for our brand and mission. Our sponsorship has never felt transactional. We feel like a valued partner in the event and, more importantly, that 360 Events NW genuinely cares about the impact our organization is working to make.
The 360 Events NW team have demonstrated that community events can be both successful and intentional about creating spaces where people of all abilities belong. We have been grateful for the opportunities to be a sponsor.
We confidently recommends 360 Events NW to organizations considering sponsorship or partnership opportunities.
