Constantine Partasides QC will co-chair the ICCA 2022 Congress, hosted by the International Council for Commercial Arbitration (ICCA). He will provide the event’s opening remarks and will introduce the keynote speaker, Louise Arbour, who will address “Arbitration’s Age of Enlightenment: a celebration or a challenge?”, the theme of this year’s conference. The remarks will take place on Monday 19 September at 9:30am BST.
Kathryn Khamsi will speak on the subject of artificial intelligence in international arbitration (AI in IA) as part of the “New Frontiers” section of the event. In particular, Kathryn will consider how AI-based technologies may be used in establishing or challenging the merits of claims, and how that will define the “face” of the arbitrations of tomorrow. The panel will take place on Tuesday 20 September from 3:45pm BST.
The conference will take place in-person from Sunday 18 September to Wednesday 21 September.
