The IBIS Global Summit, which has confirmed Thatcham Research as its 10th official partner, has already received huge interest with only a limited number of delegate places still available.
IBIS conference director, David Lingham, said, ‘The theme for IBIS 2014 is ‘Best Practice’. The programme is now almost complete with contributions already secured from Canada, France, Germany, Holland, Middle East, UK and the USA.
‘We will hear from a cross section of the industry including training organisations, bodyshops – both single site and networks, standards bodies, vehicle manufacturers, industry experts and accident management companies.’
David continued, ‘We will look at planning your people strategy for the future, examples of best practice across the globe, why accident management is so important to a vehicle manufacturer, the impact of telematics on the industry, what a bodyshop of the future might look like and more.
‘The IBIS team and I, along with our 10 official partners, are very much looking forward to this year’s summit in Barcelona, Spain.’
IBIS 2014 takes place at the spectacular Hotel Arts Barcelona, Spain on 19–21 May 2014. The 10 partners already to have pledged their support to the event include 3M, AkzoNobel, Audatex, Automechanika, Axalta, EMM, Enterprise, Innovation, Quindell and Thatcham Research.
