We invite you to join the conference on Disability Inclusion in International Arbitration that will take place on December 14 at Verte Hotel in Warsaw. The conference is an aftermath of the ICC Guide to Disability Inclusion in International Arbitration and ADR published on 30 October 2023. The aim of the conference is to discuss how disability inclusion can become a standard feature of arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). We plan to shed light on the disability inclusion topic that so far has received little attention within the arbitration and ADR community.

You can download the ICC Guide to Disability Inclusion in International Arbitration and ADR HERE.
