Dear Members and Friends,
We cordially invite you to our upcoming YAAP events:
1) YAAP Anniversary Conference
We are very pleased to announce that Dr. Reinmar Wolff, University of Marburg, will initiate the discussion on
"Time to rejuvenate the New York Convention?"
Dr. Reinmar Wolff will explore the needs of modernizing the New York Convention based on the challenges and complexities in today’s application of the convention.
Ass. Prof. Dr. Milena Djordjevic (University of Belgrade) and Benjamin Siino (Shearman & Sterling) will share their views on whether the current NYC text still serves the object and purpose of the Convention to the extent possible,
moderated by
Professor Dr. Christian Koller (University of Vienna) and to be followed by a hopefully lively debate with the audience.
Thanks to VIAC as host of the venue and the cocktail reception offered by YAAP, the event is free of charge.

3) YAAP Round Table in Prague
Jointly with our Czech colleagues, YAAP is organizing a Round Table in Prague on the eve of the official launch of the Prague Rules. After looking into recent trends in the enforcement of arbitral awards, we will witness a controversial Oxford style debate on the Prague Rules in a relaxed and informal setting. The lively discussions triggered by the debate can be continued over drinks.
• Words of Welcome (Jiri Urban, KPMG Prague; Eliane Fischer, YAAP (Freshfields); Filip Boras, YAAP (Baker McKenzie))
• Enforcement of Arbitral Awards in Austria (Martin Hackl, Konrad & Partners)
• Enforcement of Arbitral Awards in the Czech Republic (Kristina Bartoskova, Baker & McKenzie; David Seidl, Squire Patton Boggs)
• Oxford Style Debate on the motion "By 2030, the Prague Rule will have replaced the IBA Rules in most Continental European international arbitration" (Debaters: Ondrej Cech, Dentons; René Cienciala, Havel & Partners; Désirée Prantl, Freshfields; Dimitra Tsakiri, KNOETZL; Moderator: Rotislav Pekar, Squire Patton Boggs)
NB: The positions adopted by the debaters do not necessarily reflect and may in fact even be contrary to their personal views. The debate is concluded by a public vote.
• Closing remarks (Lisa Beisteiner, YAAP (zeiler.partners))
Date: Thursday, 13 December 2018, 18:00 pm
Venue: Prague City Center (exact venue to be announced)
The official event will be followed by drinks. Further details on the venue in Prague and travel arrangements will be online soon.
As always, the Round Table is free of charge. To facilitate organization, however, please register here.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Yours,
Patrizia & Filip
