Gatineau, Quebec — The Fix Network Canada conference wrapped up last Friday night on a high note during the awards night gala and auction. John and John Jr. D’Ambrosio were awarded the prestigious President’s Award for the partner best exemplifying the values of the Fix brand and network. “This recognition is humbling and appreciated as it recognized not only the recent growth of D’Ambrosio Collision Group’s three locations, but the legacy built previously by my grandfather and my father,” John Jr. remarked. Following the awards presentation, a live auction raised nearly $90,000 for Ronald McDonald House.
Fix Network Canada hosted its annual conference in Gatineau, Quebec from June 12 to June 15, featuring a wide array of entertainment. From hot topics in the collision industry to the brilliant history of Fix Network and a special highlight on Fix’s Formula 1 partnership with the F1 Stake Kick Sauber Group, the Formula for Success event was a highlight for franchisees, insurance partners, suppliers, OEMs, and all attendees.

The conference kicked off with a Welcome Reception and Supplier Expo. The launch and welcome address were delivered by Catherine Duranceau and Sylvain Seguin. The rest of the evening was dedicated to the Expo, dinner, and various activities in support of Fix Network Canada’s charity of choice, Ronald McDonald House Canada.
A session on Global Branding was presented by Fix Network World CEO, Steve Leal, and Fix Network Canada President, Sylvain Seguin. Their keynote insights provided valuable perspectives on the company’s exciting journey and highlighted the multitude of countries where the company now has a presence.
Another popular session focused on the F1 Team Partnership, presented by the inspirational Managing Director of Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber, Alessandro Alunni Bravi. Bravi answered the audience’s burning questions about all things Formula 1. The F1 Stake Team Kick Sauber racecar was also at the event, allowing attendees a chance to witness the marvel while they enjoyed networking time.
The afternoon sessions began with Antoine Joubert’s presentation on the Future of Fuel (EV, Bio, Hydrogen, Gas)—a top-of-mind topic for franchisees in Canada, especially in Quebec, which offers the third-highest EV repairable claims rate in all of North America.
OEM representatives had a open discussion on stage. Brian Chiu from Nissan along with Scott Wideman from VW were joined by Leanne Jefferies from OEC CRN.
