Toronto, Ontario -- IBIS Middle East is introducing a reimagined conference experience for 2026, shifting away from traditional panel sessions in favour of smaller, more interactive discussions designed to foster deeper connection across the collision repair and wider automotive ecosystem.
The two-day event takes place Feb. 10–11 at The Avery, Conrad Dubai, with a welcome reception on the first day followed by a full day of programming on Feb. 11. Built around the theme connecting change-makers, the refreshed format centres on in-room expertise, real conversation and shared insight.
For 2026, IBIS Middle East will feature two distinct staging areas supported by four dedicated environments for networking and connection. Content will be delivered through focused sessions, each followed by chaired round-table discussions intended to encourage open debate, practical dialogue and active delegate participation. The structure is designed to bring decision-makers closer to the issues shaping the industry, while creating space for meaningful collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Organizers have selected The Avery, Conrad Dubai as a new venue to support the updated format and enhance the overall delegate experience. The conference agenda is now live, offering an early look at how the event is evolving to better connect changemakers across the region.
IBIS Middle East brings together leaders from across the collision repair, insurance and automotive sectors, providing a platform for insight, debate and transformation within a rapidly changing industry.
More information, including the full conference agenda, is available here. Registration is now open. Additional event details are also available on Collision Repair magazine’s events page.
