Whether you are an individual professional, a company looking to expand its brand presence, or an industry innovator seeking increased networking opportunities, CCIF offers numerous pathways to get involved in 2025. 

Corporate sponsorship: Make your brand known 

For companies aiming to establish themselves as leaders in Canada’s collision sector, a corporate CCIF sponsorship is an unrivaled opportunity to do so.  

These sponsorship packages are tiered to accommodate varying goals and budgets, offering benefits that include enhanced visibility during CCIF Toronto (March 19 and 20, 2025) and CCIF Calgary (September 17-18, 2025) conferences, along with a $250 discount to participate in the March 20, 2025, CCIF Vendor showcase at CCIF Toronto. 

Diamond sponsorship: Designed for ambitious companies, the Diamond package offers premium visibility with logo recognition across CCIF platforms, opportunities to host webinars, and a chance to introduce plenary speakers at CCIF conferences. Sponsors at this level can also share thought leadership content on the CCIF blog and receive early access to industry research. 

Platinum sponsorship: Aimed at companies looking to strengthen their brand authority, the Platinum package provides brand recognition across digital platforms, opportunities to publish sponsored content, and host webinars to enhance thought leadership. 

Gold sponsorship: Gold sponsorship offers businesses brand recognition across CCIF digital channels, thought leadership opportunities, visibility across social media for each CCIF event, and discounted rates for the CCIF Vendor Showcase. 

Silver sponsorship: Silver sponsorship is ideal for companies building their presence in the Canadian collision industry.  Silver sponsors will gain brand recognition across digital channels, logo placement on the CCIF and AIA Canada websites, and shared space for company literature at CCIF conferences.
