About 1OH6
Full-service event production and community activation. Founded in Atlanta, rooted in Portland, driven by purpose.
Our Story
The preparation for any event is the beginning of a work of art that will not soon be forgotten.
Founded in Atlanta, Georgia, 1OH6 was built on a belief that events are more than logistics — they are living experiences that connect people, celebrate culture, and leave lasting impressions. After more than a decade of producing events across the Southeast, we brought that same energy and expertise to Portland, Oregon.
Over the past 11+ years, 1OH6 has grown from a grassroots event collective into a full-service production company serving communities, businesses, and organizations across the Pacific Northwest. Every project we take on is grounded in intentional design, creative storytelling, and an unwavering commitment to uplifting the people and places we serve.
