The Steering Committee welcomes a diverse and international group of 48 leading arbitration counsel at the peak of their career.
Using candid, seminar-style discussions at this annual meeting, the group has an openness to examine new ways of thinking about aspects of practice in international arbitration ranging from legal topics, practice management, and innovation, as well as developments that may impact the future of international arbitration.
This elite group, comprised of experts in the field, personally nominates all invitees and develops the Agenda, which forms the basis of our discussions.

"In all honesty and without exaggeration, this was the most productive and thought-provoking arbitration event I have attended in over a decade. The roster of participants was excellent and I particularly appreciated everybody being below 55 years of age. I would love to participate again and contribute as much as I can to the Forum in future years. Many thanks to the Steering Committee and Cambridge Forums for organizing this."
Okan Demirkan Partner Kolcuoğlu Demirkan Koçaklı Istanbul, Turkey"The Forum is a great gathering of highly talented and dynamic leading practitioners. It is a very efficient, fast track way of meeting peers to get to know them personally and intellectually in a very intimate and personable setting, and to share experiences openly. I have learned tremendously that what distinguishes the Forum is the lack of long presentations and it promotes interactions with all participants."
Raëd Fathallah Partner Bredin Prat Paris, France"Within a forest of trees, the Global Forum on International Arbitration is a unique tree. The level of interaction is unprecedented. The participants share a vast experience in international arbitration and are willing to share this expertise. Add to this an organization by Cambridge Forums that is impeccable, and your decision to participate is a no-brainer!"
