Friends, food lovers, and fellow MACUL attendees, get ready for an experience that will satisfy your taste buds, get you some steps in, and leave you with new foodie friends and a very full belly.
On Thursday, March 19th, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM ET, I’m teaming up with Knowt and the MACUL Conference to take YOU on a Walking Food Tour through downtown Grand Rapids. This isn’t just dinner. It’s a mini adventure.
For the low cost of $10, you’ll join an exclusive group of 30 educators as we eat our way through Grand Rapids. Three different stops. Three different flavors. One evening of great conversation with educators who appreciate good food as much as they appreciate great edtech.
(And yes… it will probably cost less than what you spent on coffee this morning.)
Why You Need to Be on This Tour
- You Love Food. (Obviously.)
- You Want to Explore Grand Rapids. The downtown area is packed with incredible local restaurants.
- You Love Good Company. Educators + food = instant connection.
- You Need a Break From Conference Sessions. After a full day of learning, your brain deserves a snack.
- You Want the Best Networking Event at MACUL. Because conversations over food just hit different.
But Here’s the Catch…
Only 30 spots are available. That’s it. First come, first served. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. So if you want to be part of this delicious, food-filled adventure—grab your spot before someone else takes it.
Trust me… you don’t want to hear about it the next day from someone who went.

If you’ve joined one of my walking food tours before, you already know the secret. These evenings are not just about food. They are about connection. Some of the best conversations at conferences happen outside the session rooms. Walking through a city, trying local food, and talking shop with educators from around the country creates the kind of memories that last far longer than a slide deck. Every city has its own flavor, and Grand Rapids is no exception. So if you’re heading to MACUL this year, come hungry and ready to explore.
I can’t wait to walk, talk, and taste Grand Rapids with you. Buen provecho.
