NACE to Host International Bodyshop Industry Symposium

The International Autobody Congress & Exposition (NACE) announced that IBIS@NACE, an exclusive, globally motivated, one-day program aimed at senior managers, industry leaders and influencers from all sides of the collision repair market, will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

DALLAS, TX — The International Autobody Congress & Exposition (NACE) announced that IBIS@NACE, an exclusive, globally motivated, one-day program aimed at senior managers, industry leaders and influencers from all sides of the collision repair market, will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

The world of collision repair is becoming ever more complex and, in terms of vehicle construction materials, technology and environmental legislation, as well as paint, product and equipment developments, is becoming increasingly international. As a result, individual collision repair markets are increasingly affected by developments around the world and domestic markets are increasingly influenced by international issues.

Reflecting the growing globalization of the industry is IBIS — the International Bodyshop Industry Symposium. IBIS takes place each year in Montreux, Switzerland.

First time IBIS attendee, international industry figure and Hall of Eagles inductee David Newton-Ross said of IBIS 2005, “If NACE is a must attend, then IBIS is right up there with it, make no mistake, if you are serious about your industry then put NACE and IBIS on your list of must do/attend items for the future.”

IBIS@NACE will take place at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. IBIS@NACE Packages are $350 and includes Wednesday’s IBIS@NACE Program and Luncheon, one ticket to any Conference Session in any of the timeslots featured on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Wednesday evening’s welcome reception, Thursday’s Opening General Session, Friday’s Luncheon Program, the NACE Exposition, admittance to SEMA and AAPEX, a Congress Briefcase and NACE 2005 Commemorative Pin.
