During seven days, ICC welcomes over 600 participants who are eager to discuss new developments in alternative dispute resolution, analyse and share experiences and meet with colleagues from more than 40 countries.

Follow the latest ICC developments on Twitter @ICCMediation and via the ICC Mediation Competition page on Facebook.

“Mediation is engrained in our 'corporate DNA'. It should be engrained in the DNA of any dispute resolution lawyer! The ICC Mediation Competition and the ICC Mediation Conference are the perfect places to help make this happen!” Kai-Uwe Karl, Senior Counsel – Litigation, GE Oil & Gas, Italy.
