On 19-21 May 2014, the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce will be organizing the Fourth Annual ICC Asia-Pacific Conference "International Arbitration - A Regional Journey". The aim of this two-day conference is to spark a spirited debate among panelists and participants from both sides of the Pacific as they discuss trends in international arbitration practice in the Asia-Pacific Region.
Objective
As the economy and cross-border transactions surge in the Asia-Pacific region, so does dispute resolution. Consequently, the region remains at the cutting edge of arbitration trends. Join us on a journey of the exciting developments that continue to enhance the Asia-Pacific region. We will learn from practitioners, arbitrators, in-house counsel and law makers why the region has embraced the benefits of international arbitration and how it seeks to find ways to make best practices more accessible. The conference will explore the issues which affect the international arbitration field now and learn about the opportunities that are yet to come.
Who should attend
Arbitrators, legal practitioners, in-house counsel, and academics who wish to know more about developments in international arbitration in the Asia-Pacific Region.
