CCIF Montreal Unveils Full Speaker Lineup

The Canadian Collision Industry Forum (CCIF) has officially released its complete speaker lineup for the upcoming CCIF Montreal event (September 16th and 17th).  Bringing together collision repair facility owners, insurers, suppliers, and industry stakeholders, the conference will address pressing technological shifts and business management strategies across the Canadian market.

Key sessions featured in the announcement include a dedicated technical workshop on electric vehicle (EV) safety led by I-CAR Canada instructor Pete Halasz. Additionally, Nick Allegretta, owner of Fix Auto Décarie, will examine the practical integration and operational impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) within the shop environment.

A executive panel featuring Emily Chung (AIA Canada), Bill Davidson (Raydar Collision Group), Bing Wong (CrashBay), and Kelvin Campbell (Chapman Certified Collision Centres) will deliver an in-depth exploration into buyer expectations and valuation metrics for collision repair centers. To address shop productivity and financial performance, Mike Gilliland of AutoHouse Technologies will outline strategies designed to unlock hidden profit margins within daily repair workflows.
