About Ten Forward Creative

We speak both languages fluently - event technology and human empathy.

Homegrown in Portland, Oregon in 2019, Ten Forward Creative is an event technology company owned by Stephen and Cheryl Vandervort. We work with clients to find the best technical solutions for their events; corporate, non-profit & activations. Planning an event is hard work, and specialized equipment doesn’t make it any easier if you don’t know what you need. That’s where TFC is able to help. We speak both languages fluently - technology and human empathy.

We've worked with some really great people from some notable places

"Thank you once again for your support, creativity, and solutions collaboration in producing a well-received event yesterday! I feel like the bar was raised once again, and the feedback from our advisors and internal team members has been tremendous!"
