About IBIS

IBIS 2012 takes place, once again, at the spectacular Hotel Arts Barcelona, Spain on 21-23 May 2012.

Attracting over 300 key players from around the world, IBIS is THE event to be seen at. Alongside the formal business proceedings of IBIS 2012, there will be a host of networking opportunities to engage with business partners, colleagues and friends.

The theme of the 12th annual IBIS event – Winning Relationships – will focus on understanding and building relationships, exploring how they grow, evolve and what makes a win-win partnership. With seminar contributions secured from speakers from USA, Japan, Holland and Spain – IBIS 2012 promises to again embrace the industry on a global scale.

Conference director, David Lingham said, ‘Having looked at standards and the future vision of our industry, understanding relationships and how they grow and evolve is the next logical step. Being successful with these aspects is only possible with respectful and appropriate relationships with key stakeholders. But such relationships apply to all aspects of our business.’

'Over a number of sessions at IBIS 2012 we will be hearing both sides of the story so we can gain more meaningful perspectives. Representatives from bodyshop networks, insurers and research centres, as well as vehicle manufacturers and other stakeholders will share their thoughts.'

‘All parties will be explaining how they have built highly effective and mutually sustainable relationships, based on trust and understanding. I believe that the focus of IBIS 2012 on Winning Relationships will provide delegates with much food for thought as well as a range of potential new strategies.'

IBIS 2011 proved a major success with 100% of delegates keen to attend future IBIS events and some fantastic feedback…
