The Canadian Auto Care Industry Conference (CAIC) unifies two major events in the Canadian auto care calendar: the AIA Canada National Conference and the Canadian Collision Industry Forum (CCIF) in Toronto. It brings together key industry players from across both mechanical and collision sectors, providing attendees with numerous opportunities to network and discuss the latest trends and technologies that are shaping the entire auto care sector. This event is more than just a conference—it is a convergence of ideas and expertise with the goal of driving growth and embracing change within the industry.
The AIA Canada National Conference will be taking place during the first day of the Canadian Auto Care Industry Conference where we will explore key industry-wide challenges, emerging trends, and valuable insights. This day will feature a series of breakout sessions designed to address the unique challenges and opportunities within the entire auto care industry, from labour challenges, young professionals, and what the future of the industry holds. Attendees can expect additional in-depth sessions on the latest technologies, best practices, and strategies for staying competitive in a rapidly evolving market. Following a full day of learning, a networking reception will take place, where people from across the entire Canadian auto care industry will connect, catch up about the day’s sessions, and talk about the future of the industry.
CCIF Toronto kicks off during the joint networking reception on March 19, with the programming continuing March 20, 2025. This day will include a vendor showcase, where businesses will be able to highlight their latest products and services to fellow attendees, as well as sessions tailored specifically to the needs of collision sector professionals—from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), insurers, suppliers, educators, and repairers—covering topics such as the latest in repair technologies, insurance, and elevating customer experiences.
