^{CONNECT. ENGAGE. EXCEL.} This is a different event. Unlike any you've attended.

Built on genuine interactions and spontaneous connections, the Forum is a unique opportunity for practical discussions among the next generation of leaders in Asian arbitration.

"The Asian Forum for Arbitration Counsel was an excellent experience. A small group of highly experienced and qualified counsel from diverse jurisdictions exchanging free-flowing ideas and experiences was a treat. Personally, I have started recently being appointed to act as an arbitrator for several disputes and I feel like the experiences shared in the room will be put in practice by me right away. In my practice as arbitration counsel there are a lot of helpful and practical ideas that are valuable and new. This is different from other conferences because of the small size of the group and free flow of discussion."
