About this Event
Join us for a series of trail hikes and networking events featuring sunshine (we hope), fresh air and great company. Each season, we’ll host hikes at different times and venues throughout the region.
Before and after each hike, we’ll also share unique content to enhance your experience. So grab your water bottle and granola bar and get ready to network, meet new people and learn something new — all while enjoying West Michigan’s parks and trail systems year-round.
Our next opportunity to connect outdoors is just around the corner...
Join us for the first Tech Trails hike of 2026 at Blandford Nature Center! The group will meet at Mary Jane Dockeray Visitor Center and be led by Bill Smith, former CEO and owner of Compucraft Technologies, who now spends his time volunteering at Blandford Nature Center.
Location: Blandford Nature Center, 1715 Hillburn Ave NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504
Date: Wednesday, April 22

This free, guided walk is a great opportunity to:

Tech Trails is all about casual, outdoor networking with a purpose — no PowerPoints, no pressure, just people, parks and meaningful conversation.
