The return of the CCIF meetings in Montreal drew a full house as 350 representatives from the auto body industry gathered June 2 and 3 at the Airport Marriott Hotel.

Due to circumstances that we all know too well, it had been almost four years since the representatives of the body shop industry had been able to meet in Montreal for the CCIF.

The meeting, which brought together major suppliers of products and services to the collision repair industry, repair shop owners and employees, and insurance company representatives, was preceded by a cocktail reception on the evening of June 2.

It was clear that these players in the automotive aftermarket had a lot of fun reconnecting or getting to know each other, as more than a quarter of the participants were attending the Montreal CCIF for the first time.

Before the cocktail, a workshop on problem solving using the Toyota Kata formula was offered and led by trainer Marc-Olivier Legentil from Bell Nordic. This very dynamic workshop allowed participants to work in teams to establish a documented approach to problem solving.

All Montreal CCIF activities were held at the Marriott Hotel at the Montreal International Airport. Here is a photo resume of this event, which was rich in emotions and sharing.
