Kraków English
Start: 17.00 (CET) - End: 20:30 (CET)

Join us at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland for a keynote speech and discussion on practical aspects of becoming an arbitrator.

For each arbitration there is at least one arbitrator, who is appointed in order to decide a particular dispute. This ICC YAAF event offers an opportunity to discuss and explore issues concerning first-time appointment as an arbitrator (appointment, disclosure and challenges), the role of the arbitrator and guidance for arbitrators on effective case management.
