What a special evening at Technology Association of Oregon’s Party in the Pinot. ❤️
For us, it was about so much more than serving handcrafted ice cream sandwiches. It was a chance to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and celebrate the people building companies, creating jobs, and helping Oregon’s technology community thrive.
After spending many years working in Portland’s tech community before starting Maddy’s Cream Bike, this event felt extra special. It was such a joy catching up with former colleagues, partners, founders, and friends while sharing a little of what we’re building today.
And the setting could not have been more beautiful. Scholls Valley Lodge was the perfect backdrop for a gorgeous Oregon summer evening, and Grand Cru Hospitality created such a warm and memorable experience. From the wh***ey tasting to the s’mores bar, every detail made the evening feel relaxed, thoughtful, and fun.
We were grateful to add one more sweet moment with our handcrafted ice cream sandwiches. 🍦
A huge thank you to Skip Newberry, Kate Firmin, the entire TAO team, Grand Cru Hospitality, and all of the sponsors who made the evening possible. We know how much work goes into an event like this, and we were honored to be part of it.
Here’s to innovation, friendship, and the communities that make Oregon such a wonderful place to build something new.
