IBIS 2012 – A winning formula
Delegate bookings have already reached 70% capacity for IBIS 2012, as development of the conference programme for May’s International Bodyshop Industry Symposium continues apace.
‘Not only have many IBIS regulars already re-booked,’ said IBIS account director, Nicola Keady ‘but we have had a significant increase in interest from the emerging markets. This is hugely encouraging given the lack of certainty that is currently characterising the global economy. It is also an indication of the important role IBIS plays in providing participants with the competitive edge.
Nicola continued, ‘Although there is still four months to go before IBIS 2012, I would advise all those who are serious about attending but have not yet booked, to do so. It is likely that we will reach full capacity well before the event takes place.’
Conference director David Lingham, meantime, reports that good progress is being made in terms of speakers and content.
‘Finalising the programme for IBIS 2012 is very much in our sights,’ said David. ‘Continuing the theme of ‘Winning Relationships’ and following on from confirmation of the joint presentation from Netherlands based insurer InShared and leading repair network ABS Autohestel, I can now confirm that State Farm’s George Avery – one of the most highly respected figures in the US collision repair industry will share the secrets of their ‘win win’ insurer/repairer relationship.’
He continued, ‘IBIS 2012 will have a major focus on insurers and their partners; it is highly unusual to hear from both parties at such a conference and I believe that this years IBIS will produce much lively debate and shed valuable insights into the secrets of successful commercial relationships.’
3M, AkzoNobel, Audatex, BASF, Enterprise Rent-a-Car and Innovation Group are already confirmed as Official Partners for IBIS 2012 which takes place on 21-23 May at The Hotel Arts Barcelona, Spain.
