This year, we are excited to announce the formation of the ITS Australia NextGens. In this webinar, our Next Gens committee members will be in conversation with their colleagues in the ITS New Zealand Young Transport Professionals. The young transport leaders from both countries will share their experiences in the ITS industry. Through short presentations and informal discussion, they will touch on a range of topics. Attendees will also have the chance to ask questions and share their comments on the theme.
So, is it time young professionals shook up the ITS industry?
