The 2026 City Tech Tour

I’m visiting 12 cities across the country to study how strong tech ecosystems are built and what Milwaukee can learn from them.

Along the way, I’ll meet with founders, operators, investors, business leaders, and community builders. I’ll attend events, tour spaces, and document the people, ideas, and environments that help ambitious cities grow.

This tour is how Experience Milwaukee goes beyond telling local stories.

It’s how I gather perspective, pattern recognition, and practical insight that can help Milwaukee build a stronger future.

As I travel, I’ll share what stands out:

  • what other cities are getting right

  • what Milwaukee can learn from them

  • which ideas are worth adapting here

  • and how local builders can think bigger about what’s possible

If you care about the future of Milwaukee’s tech and business community, follow along.

These stories are for founders, operators, leaders, and ambitious people who want to build stronger careers, companies, and connections in Milwaukee.
