It’s been a while since a lot of us have attended an in person conference with hundreds of people, parties, networking and talks. But I recently took the plunge and attended Micromobility America in SF and it was a lot of fun. In addition to getting over the COVID hump though, there were a ton of great speakers, cool products to test and great people. So today I wanted to recap the conference in case you were there and want to relive it or you missed it and are ready to live vicariously through me and my special guest, Jonah Bliss.
