Here you can read GoKid’s posts about the various events we attend, speak at, and exhibit at. Attending startup and smart mobility events ensures that as a company we stay on the cutting edge of innovation. We regularly attend industry events including South By Southwest (SXSW), the LA Auto Show, and the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
