Words cannot express the gratitude that I have for everyone who took part in our conference, International Arbitration in a Brave New World, this Friday. While I am still processing the insightful words that our panelists kindly shared with us, I wanted to share some glimpses from the event and thank everyone who made this event possible: Eva Chan, Bas Van Zelst, Guillermo J Garcia Sanchez, Piotr Wilinski, Stefanie G. Efstathiou, LL.M. mult., Eugene Thong 唐伟良 FCIArb, Nadir Khalil, Amanda Lee FCIArb, Shayan Ahmed Khan, Lillian Li, Paula Baldini Miranda da Cruz, Maarten Draye, Johannes Hendrik Fahner, Jan Smits, Ana Jezersek, Szymon Górny, Anna Haesaert, Georgios Pliakas, Aleksandra Jabłkowska, Natalia Podstawka, Lara Vangoethem, Iris Cecconi, Philine Koomen, Jessica van der Kamp, Dr. Artemis P. Malliaropoulou, Jasmine Qiu.
Special thank you to the audience members (many students from my IBL and CPR courses that took time during their exam week to come listen to our speakers). In a world that is seemingly less kind and more intolerant than before, we hope that the new generation of problem-solvers were inspired by the speakers and go on to deal with many of the challenges we discussed at the conference 🔥
