ARC360 2026: time to act

Momentum is building rapidly for ARC360 2026, with more than 100 senior insurance leaders already confirmed among a wider audience of over 400 delegates expected to attend one of the most significant events in the motor claims and vehicle repair calendar.

Taking place on 21 May at the British Motor Museum, Gaydon, the event arrives at a critical time for the sector. Increasing vehicle complexity, ongoing skills shortages and sustained supply chain pressures are placing unprecedented strain on the industry, reinforcing the need for urgent collaboration and practical solutions.

This year’s agenda reflects the scale and pace of change, with a programme designed to address the most pressing operational and strategic challenges facing the market.

A new feature for 2026, the ‘New Generation Hub’ delivered in partnership with AutoRaise, will place a renewed focus on attracting and developing future talent – an increasingly urgent priority for the sector.
