BTS Grand Rapids Takeover

Black Tech Saturdays is making its way to Grand Rapids.

Join us on July 25 at Bamboo’s 4th-floor gallery in Downtown Grand Rapids for BTS Grand Rapids, a special activation bringing together founders, creatives, technologists, small businesses, and ecosystem builders from across Michigan.

In collaboration with Start Garden, Midwest Tech Project, and Opnr, this event is designed to introduce BTS to Grand Rapids as a flagship moment ahead of our larger presence during Grand Rapids Tech Week in September.

From 1:00–4:00 PM, expect signature BTS energy with programming focused on connection, conversation, and community-building across Michigan’s founder ecosystem. This is more than a networking event. It is an opportunity to bridge relationships and create practical pathways between innovators in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, the Lakeshore, and Traverse City.

After the main event, we’ll keep the momentum going with an Afterglow from 4:00–7:00 PM, with Trust & Tellers pending as the host location.

What to expect:

• curated programming and live conversations
• founder and ecosystem connection
• regional community-building across Michigan
• signature BTS energy and cultural connection
• an opportunity to tap into before September’s Grand Rapids Tech Week

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
