Is there a cost to attend?

Nope! Tech Trails is free, thanks to the support of the West Michigan Tech Talent council and our sponsors.

Come prepared with comfortable walking shoes, a water bottle and a snack (Some hikes may have food or drink available for purchase afterward).

Can I bring a friend or my kids?

Absolutely. These hikes are open to all — just make sure everyone is ready for a relaxed, enjoyable walk.

Will there be anything besides the hike?

Yes! Each event includes a brief talk, experience, or activity — no pitches, just community, conversation, and connection.

Anything else I should know?

We’ll send event-specific updates and details beforehand. Just come ready to enjoy the trails and meet great people!

These casual, energizing events will bring together tech professionals and community members for a mix of sunshine, fresh air and great conversation — all while exploring the beautiful public spaces of the West Michigan region.

Tech Trails is a great way to unplug, get outside, and engage with the West Michigan community in a fresh, informal setting.
