The Next 100 Years of Arbitration & ADR

2023 marks the Centenary of the ICC Court, a time for us to look forward to what is to come in the next 100 years, while appreciating the ICC Court's pioneering work in international arbitration over the past 100 years.

08.15 -09.00	Registration and welcome coffee
09.00 – 09.10	Welcome remarks John W. H. Denton, Secretary General, International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), Paris
09:10 – 09:20	Introductory remarks Myriam Seers, Partner, Agora, Toronto, Canada; Chair, ICC Canada Arbitration Committee Peter J.W. Sherwin, Partner, Proskauer Rose LLP, New York, United States; Chair, USCIB/ICC USA Arbitration Committee
09.20 – 10.30	Looking to the Next 100 years: the ICC Centenary Declaration in Action in North America The ICC Court’s mission to ensure access to justice and promote the rule of law by serving businesses, states and individuals has been its core purpose for 100 years. Its impact has been far reaching and its accomplishments numerous on many fronts. Key milestones in the ICC Court’s history namely include submitting the preliminary draft convention of what became the United Nations New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards in 1958. With a renewed commitment to its enduring purpose and with a bold vision for the future announced in the ICC Centenary Declaration on Dispute Prevention and Resolution, ICC has set an ambitious roadmap to lead and serve dispute resolution communities into the next century. Our panelists will put several ICC Centenary Declaration pledges to the test by examining their relevance and potential impact in North America, and then consider what concrete steps are needed to fulfill each pledge. Panelists will, for example, address why improving access to justice via arbitration and ADR should perhaps be prioritized in North America in light of lengthening litigation timelines and judicial system delays. David R. Haigh KC, Independent Arbitrator, Calgary, AB, Canada Mélida Hodgson, Partner, Arnold & Porter, New York, United States; Vice-Chair, ICC Institute of World Business Law Victoria Shannon Sahani, Associate Provost for Community and Inclusion, Boston University, United States; Professor of Law, Boston University School of Law, Boston Eugene J. Silva, Senior Counsel, International Disputes Group, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Houston, Texas, United States Moderated by: Mark W. Friedman, Partner, Debevoise & Plimpton, New York, United States
10.30 – 11.05	Fireside Chat Karen Silverman, CEO and Founder, The Cantellus Group, San Francisco, California, United States Claudia Salomon, President, ICC International Court of Arbitration, Paris
11.05 – 11.35	Coffee break
11.35 – 12.50	Challenges and Opportunities in the Mining Industry: Key Concerns and Best Practices to Manage Risks and Resolve Disputes Mining has been a vital North American industry for centuries. While the minerals being mined have changed, one thing remains constant: we depend on what comes from the earth to advance technologically and economically. Today, the mining industry is seeing an increase in disputes as demand outpaces supply. This trend is exacerbated by the needs of the energy transition. This panel will start by examining common sources of disputes in the mining industry, from longstanding ESG obligations to supply chain disruptions, and address the unique risks, concerns and other salient issues that arise in mining sector activity, contract drafting and project planning. The panel will then discuss the dispute prevention and resolution strategies employed by companies and their counsel seeking to mitigate risks and efficiently resolve disputes so they can return to supplying global markets. Panelists will equally dive into some best practices for conducting mining arbitrations and lessons learned from past cases on the procedural, substantive, damages and advocacy fronts.

12.50 – 14.30	Lunch
14.30 – 15.45	Technology in Arbitration: Your Friend, Not Your Replacement (yet) This panel will examine how technology may increase procedural efficiency and improve decision-making in international arbitration proceedings. While much of the conversation about artificial intelligence and other recent technological advancements focuses on the risks that they may pose, these panellists will also highlight the ways in which tools may be leveraged by arbitrators, institutions, and parties to streamline dispute resolution and increase access to justice, especially for small value claims and disputes in the digital economy.
