What is CIC?
The Collision Industry Conference (CIC) is a unique forum designed to foster discussion and collaboration among all segments of the collision repair industry.

CIC welcomes repairers, insurers, paint and material companies, equipment manufacturers, vehicle manufacturers, data providers, and trade association representatives, ensuring a diverse and balanced discussion. Everyone with an interest in advancing the collision repair industry is invited to participate.
Open Microphone Session:
Each CIC meeting allows attendees to publicly address concerns beyond the agenda topics, ensuring all voices in the industry are heard.
