At ITS Canada’s booth here in Detroit, the new logo for the 2017 World Congress was presented on Monday evening at an exclusive B2B Networking session that saw over 75 of ITS Canada’s partners, member firms and Canadian government representatives gather to celebrate the award of the 2017 ITS World Congress.
