Dear YAAP Members and Friends,
We invite you to attend the
5th Co-Chairs' Circle Conference in Frankfurt am Main on 16-18 May 2024.
The
Co-Chairs' Circle is an association of young practitioners’ initiatives of various arbitration institutions and groups from all over the world, including
YAAP. The Co-Chairs’ Circle Conference takes place every two years.
The topic of this year's conference is “The Future of Arbitration”. Maxi Scherer (Special Counsel at WilmerHale in London, Professor at the Queen Mary University, and Vice President of the LCIA Court) will kick-off the conference on 16 May 2024 with a keynote in which she will share her thoughts and expectations as to the future of our field at a reception at the Frankfurt office of Allen & Overy.
On 17 May 2024, the event will continue with a panel discussion which will shed light on how different jurisdictions are future-proofing their national arbitration laws. Afterwards, participants will break-out into workshop sessions dealing with topics that will have an impact on the future of international arbitration. All participants will get to attend two workshop sessions on a wide variety of topics moderated by leading practitioners of our generation.
The conference day will close with a party in the German Film Institute & Film Museum, where Pedro Arcoverde (Senior Legal Counsel at Airbus, Paris) will deliver an answer to the keynote by Maxi Scherer.
The conference will end with a wine tasting at the Schloss Vollrads winery in the Rheingau region on 18 May 2024 (there will be a bus shuttle service for all participants of the wine tasting).
