The Arbitral Institutions Congress 2025 (AIC25)
4 Jun
09:00 - 15:30
Following the success of last year's Arbitral Institutions Congress where around 20 different arbitral institutions participated, we have decided to repeat the event at LIDW25. We are inviting more of the leading arbitral institutions from across the world to participate in this year's event, including The Big 5! We will have a mixture of regional and specialist arbitral institutions take part. As before, in addition to sessions with discussions and presentations we will have a space where different institutions will be able to present themselves and have representatives available to provide information and to answer questions.
In addition to the main organisers: Khawar Qureshi KC, Loukas Mistelis and Artem Doudko, we will have a diverse mix of representative of the participating arbitral institutions speaking across the various sessions.
