Gatineau, Quebec — Fix Network Canada franchisees and industry partners are in Gatineau, Quebec, this week for the company’s annual conference. The theme, Formula for Success, centres around topics like Fix Network World’s Formula 1 team sponsorship; the future of fuel and vehicle types; repair processes and more.
The event kicked off with a welcome dinner and trade show on Wednesday night, where dozens of attendees enjoyed some charitable casino games in support of Fix’s partnership with Ronald McDonald House Canada.
Thursday featured opening remarks from President and CEO Steve Leal as well as Sylvain Séguin, president of Fix Network Canada. Leal spoke to Fix Network World’s global branding and the sheer scope of the company today.
Leal stressed the event’s theme, the history of the Canada-born Fix Network brand and the various brands they’ve folded in as of late, as well as the hard work that went into selecting the top-of-mind topics for presentations and speakers. He emphasized the many countries where Fix Network’s brands carry a presence, including but not limited to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Saudi Arabia.
Alessandro Alunni Bravi, the managing director and team representative of Sauber Group–which Fix Network World holds an F1 sponsorship with–took the stage on Thursday morning to deliver his key insights and answer the audience’s burning questions about Formula 1.
