There is no general conference space booked for PAW. As a partner, you would be welcome to host an event at your own offices, or you could also organise your event(s) at a different venue should you prefer. A large majority of the events that have been organised thus far are being held at the organising partners’ offices. We also encourage partners to organise partially or fully remote events.
The topic is entirely up to you, as long as it falls under the general theme of arbitration and dispute resolution. We cannot, however, guarantee exclusivity of a particular topic. Naturally, the sooner we receive the details and registration link, the greater visibility your event will have.

These events are the opening keynote speech (free of charge, subject to prior registration), and the following social events: the opening cocktail (free of charge, subject to prior registration), the Young Arbitration Cruise (subject to registration fee), and the closing cocktail (reserved to PAW Partners and by invitation only).
