CARSTAR has announced it will host its 2026 Impact conference from August 18–20 at the Halifax Convention Centre in Halifax, N.S.
The event will bring together franchise partners and industry stakeholders from across the company’s independently owned collision repair network. This year’s theme will focus on business growth, operational alignment and industry advancement.
