Welcome to IBIS 2025, where our new theme “Shaping the Future: Leadership Through Collaboration” sets the stage for a year of transformative discussions, innovative solutions, and collective action in the collision repair industry.
This year’s theme underscores the necessity of collective action to navigate the dynamic landscape of the industry. The collision repair industry is experiencing rapid and transformative changes, driven by advancements in technology, evolving consumer behaviours, and the urgent need for sustainable practices. IBIS 2025 recognises that tackling these challenges requires united leadership and collaborative strategies. Our events provide a global platform for industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers to come together, share insights, and shape solutions that will define the future of the industry.
Why collaboration is key
As highlighted by IBIS Board Member Quintin Cornforth, “The challenges our industry faces require collaboration, creativity, and resilience. No single organisation can tackle these issues alone. Through the power of partnership and strategic thinking, IBIS 2025 will empower leaders to actively shape the future of the collision repair industry.”
IBIS 2025 conferences will provide a global platform for leaders to connect, innovate, and strategise together. Delegates will explore collaborative strategies, gain insights into emerging trends, and unite to create resilient solutions that ensure sustainable growth and adaptability. By embracing the spirit of collaboration, the collision repair industry can not only face future challenges but actively shape a brighter, more sustainable future.
This year’s theme underscores the necessity of collective action to address critical issues such as:
- Adoption of cutting-edge repair technologies.
- Meeting sustainability imperatives.
- Adapting to shifting consumer expectations.
Through open dialogue, innovative approaches, and collaborative thinking, IBIS 2025 aims to equip the industry with the tools needed to foster sustainable growth and adaptability.
