In line with the 2026 conference theme ‘Connecting Changemakers’, IBIS Middle East is introducing a completely reimagined conference experience, designed to create deeper connection, sharper debate and more meaningful interaction across the collision repair and wider automotive ecosystem. For 2026, the event moves away from traditional panel sessions, placing the focus firmly on in-room expertise, real conversation and shared insight.
The new format features two distinct staging areas, supported by four dedicated environments for connecting and networking. Content will be delivered through highly focused sessions followed by chaired round-table discussions, encouraging open debate, practical discussion and active delegate participation. This structure is designed to bring decision-makers closer to the issues that matter most, while creating space for genuine collaboration and knowledge exchange.
All of this will take place in a brand-new venue, The Avery, Conrad Dubai, carefully selected to support the refreshed format and enhance the overall delegate experience. The agenda is now live, offering a first look at how IBIS Middle East is evolving to better connect changemakers across the region.
Join us on 10-11 February at The Avery, Conrad Dubai – beginning with a welcome reception on the 10th, followed by a day of insight, debate, connection and transformation on the 11th.
