Working Together Through the COVID-19 Crisis

logo_itc_01_Dark

As the coronavirus (COVID-19) is affecting communities and families around the world, this is a difficult time for all. The ITC is working closely with employees, members and partners to ensure health and well-being. 

At this unprecedented time of uncertainty, the ITC will not host an IntelliCAD World Meeting in 2020. However, ITC development continues, and so does collaboration. One small example is that internal ITC systems and tools are freely shared with ITC members, and with decades of experience working remotely, we hope these processes prove helpful as companies move to remote teams.

The ITC exists to serve its members. Working together has always been a pillar from which we operate, and our current world crisis is now demanding more. We wish good health for you, your families, and your communities.
