Here’s What Went Down with Flocab at ISTE 2017

We just returned from 3 incredible, exhausting-yet-invigorating days on the expo hall floor in San Antonio. Didn’t catch us in the convention center? Maybe you’re part of the #NotAtISTE crew? We’ve got a recap for you, with plenty of videos and photos to check out. Let’s go!
