‘Connecting Changemakers’ is more than a theme, it’s the heartbeat of IBIS for 2026. In a world overflowing with online content, AI-generated insights and endless information downloads, IBIS continues to stand apart by offering something uniquely powerful: a global environment where innovators, leaders and disruptors can meet face-to-face, challenge thinking, exchange ideas, and spark real transformation.
At the core of this theme is the belief that progress happens when people connect, when the right minds come together, in the right room, at the right time. ‘Connecting Changemakers’ captures the true value of attending IBIS: the meaningful conversations, the strategic collaborations, the “lightbulb moments”, and the long-term partnerships that simply cannot be replicated online. It defines both the outcomes of participating in IBIS and the compelling reason delegates return year after year.
“Connecting Changemakers reflects the very essence of IBIS,” said Robert Snook, IBIS Conference Director. “Our conferences are designed to bring together the leaders who are driving transformation across the global collision repair ecosystem. In 2026, we will continue to provide the place for high-level networking, knowledge sharing, and collaboration that leads to meaningful change.”
In 2026, IBIS will not only host conversations, but it will also connect the people who turn those conversations into action.
The 2026 programme will feature fresh venues, new formats and world-class speakers, combined with the same trusted IBIS value and networking that has set the standard for more than 20 years.
