In a show of collaboration between the ITS industry’s leading trade associations, senior representatives from 374 ERTICO – ITS Europe, 560 ITS America, 556 ITS Japan and 858 ITS Australia hosted a series of receptions at their booths.

Jean Mesqui, Brian Negus, Hajime Amano and Scott Belcher are pictured in light-hearted mood on the ITS Australia booth where the visitors were presented with an iconic Akubra Cattleman Hat as an authentic Australian gift.
