Join us for the Chennai Edition of our successful networking event series ‘ICC YAAF: Weaving Connection, Maintaining Engagement’ to foster long lasting connections between young practitioners in India and share insights on building a career in the industry.
The event will begin with two (2) roundtable-format interactive networking sessions amongst groups of arbitration and ADR practitioners. Participants will be paired with a different group for both sessions, with each group consisting of a mix of seven (7) to eight (8) practitioners who possess zero (0) to fifteen (15) years of PQE (post-qualification experience), to encourage the exchange of diverse experiences and perspectives on the specified themes.
The roundtables will be followed by a panel discussion by senior practitioners on emerging issues in arbitration and ADR. This event aims to facilitate a free flow of thoughts and ideas among young and emerging practitioners, who will each have a role to play in the way that the field of arbitration evolves and shapes up in the coming years.
