Join us for the ICC Canada Arbitration Committee Annual Conference in the beautiful city of Vancouver on October 9 and 10, 2024. This year’s conference will take place at the Vancouver Convention Center, located on Vancouver’s stunning downtown oceanfront with mountain views.
The ICC Canada Arbitration Committee’s long-standing annual conference brings together international dispute resolution practitioners, corporate counsel and arbitrators based around the world for interactive discussion and debate on cutting-edge topics in international dispute resolution, not to mention a hefty dose of merriment, libations and camaraderie among friends old and new.
The conference will kick-off with the Annual General Meeting for the ICC Canada Arbitration Committee members on October 9, 2024. Later that evening, a joint YCAP and ICC Canada Arbitration Committee welcome reception will take place at Blakes’ offices.
The main event will take place on October 10, 2024 from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm at the Vancouver Convention Center. This year’s conference theme is “Arbitration Trends in Evolving Industries” and will feature a keynote speech by Claudia Salomon, the President of the ICC International Court of Arbitration, as well as panels on:
- Construction, infrastructure and energy transition
- Business and human rights
- Artificial intelligence, data, cybersecurity and intellectual property in the metaverse
- Investor-state arbitrations (Arbitration Feud game show)
There will be lots of time for networking during breakfast, lunch, coffee breaks and the cocktail reception.
There will also be a dinner held in the evening of October 10, 2024.
