London, England--September 1, 2010--Next year’s International Bodyshop Industry Symposium--IBIS 2011--will take place in Spain from May 16-18, 2011 at the Hotel Arts Barcelona.

The new location and slightly earlier date enables IBIS 2011 to take full advantage of Spain’s reliably superb spring weather.

Research recently carried out by Convention 2020 reveals that in an age of teleconferencing and webinars, face-to-face events such as IBIS, which bring together industry movers and shakers from around the world, are highly valued for their ability to deliver quality networking, the platform they provide to find out about the very latest market developments and the opportunities they offer to spend time with a cross section of the industry’s leading influencers.

The delegate package for IBIS 2011 remains unchanged at £1,650. The package includes two nights accommodation at the Hotel Arts Barcelona, attendance at all IBIS sessions, the Delegate’s Welcome Dinner on May 16, the International Dinner on May 17 and Delegate’s Departure lunch on May 18.
