The IBIS Global Summit 2026 has released its first draft agenda, offering an early look at the discussions set to shape the future of the global collision repair industry.
Taking place June 16–18, 2026 in Vienna, the event will continue its “connecting changemakers” theme, bringing together senior leaders from the automotive, insurance and collision repair sectors.
This year’s summit will follow a revised conference format first introduced at IBIS USA in March. The opening session is scheduled for the afternoon of June 16, allowing delegates to arrive earlier in the day and creating additional opportunities for networking and collaboration throughout the event.
According to the provisional agenda, the program will focus on strategic decisions expected to define the next decade of collision repair. Planned sessions will examine the global race for scale, the growing role of software and artificial intelligence in claims and repair, and ongoing questions around insurability and repairability. Leadership challenges in an increasingly complex operating environment are also expected to be a key theme.
The agenda includes keynote discussions, leadership interviews, interactive debates and IBIS Changemaker roundtables, designed to encourage dialogue and knowledge-sharing among attendees. Networking events such as welcome receptions, dinners and IBIS Speakers’ Corner breakfast sessions are also planned.
Early bird registration remains open until the end of March, with additional speakers and session details expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
The IBIS Global Summit annually attracts more than 350 delegates from around 30 countries, continuing its long-standing role as a forum for international industry leaders to connect and exchange insight.
