IBIS unveils two-year events roadmap

The International Bodyshop Industry Symposium (IBIS) has released its event calendar for 2021 and 2022.

In 2020, face-to-face IBIS conferences made way for a new era of live broadcasts streamed direct to audiences via a bespoke interactive event platform. Throughout the year, IBIS brought together the global collision repair industry efficiently, innovatively and safely.

In 2021, IBIS plans to consolidate the success of these broadcasts with a new schedule of digitally delivered conferences. At their heart will be the same unique and thought-provoking content – wrapped up in high production presentations, panel debates, interviews, Q&A and live polling.

2021 digital programme:

• IBISConnect Latin America on 27 May.
• IBISTV Global Summit on 24 June.
• IBISConnect Africa on 29 July.
• IBISConnect USA – an exclusive, invitation-only online event on 2 September.
• IBISConnect Turkey on 6 October.
• IBISConnect Middle East on 10 November.

IBIS CEO Jason Moseley said: “2022 will herald a return to the power of face-to-face networking and relationship building as this year’s digital pathway leads the IBIS community forward to our highly regarded physical conference programme next year.”

2022 physical programme:

• IBIS Middle East in Dubai on 24 February.
• IBIS Africa in Johannesburg on 24 March.
• IBIS USA in Jacksonville Florida from 4 to 6 May (an exclusive, invitation-only event).
• IBIS Global Summit in June.
• IBIS Latin America in Mexico on 14 July.
• IBIS Turkey in Istanbul on 20 October.
• IBIS China in Shanghai in December.

Further information on the theme, content and speakers for each digital and physical conference will appear on the IBIS Worldwide website and social media feeds over the coming weeks and months.
