Welcome to IBIS Global Summit 2026
16-18 June | Vienna, Austria
Connecting Changemakers. Where leaders meet to shape what comes next.
Set in the historic and forward-looking city of Vienna, this year’s IBIS Global Summit brings together the international collision repair industry under the global theme ‘Connecting Changemakers’.
For more than two decades, IBIS has provided the platform where the industry’s most important conversations take place. From its beginnings in 2001, IBIS has grown into a world-leading conference and networking community for collision repair, now welcoming more than 350 global decision-makers to the Global Summit each year.
Today, the pace of change has never been greater. Technology, electrification, sustainability, insurer and OEM strategies, workforce challenges and new business models are reshaping every part of the value chain. ‘Connecting Changemakers’ reflects IBIS’s purpose in this environment: creating the right space for the people who are actively driving change to connect, challenge each other and move the industry forward together.
In a world saturated with online content, AI-generated insights and endless information feeds, IBIS continues to offer something different and more powerful – a place where real people engage in real debate, share experience, test ideas and build the relationships that create real-world impact.
A global conference format designed for real impact
IBIS Global Summit 2026 builds on the strategic evolution of IBIS events worldwide. The Vienna programme is designed to be sharper, more focused and more connected than ever before.
New features:
- Venues and spaces aligned to the theme, built for interaction and conversation.

IBIS Global Summit 2026 challenges every attendee to ask:
Are you a bystander to change, or a changemaker shaping it?
Who are the Changemakers?
They are the people pushing boundaries across every corner of the industry – IBIS Global Summit is committed to engaging them, involving them and showcasing them on stage.
In an industry undergoing rapid transformation, ‘Connecting Changemakers’ isn’t just a theme, it’s the call to action guiding every moment of the IBIS Global Summit 2026.
