Badger’s rookie year at CES 2023 is going to be one to remember. It was an amazing experience all around and winning the accessibility award made it that more special. It put Badger on the map! As a startup, exhibiting at conferences is challenging however, CTA was a great resource to make it a no brainer. We can’t wait to be a part of CES 2024 and continue the momentum.
