ACICA and CIArb Australia are pleased to announce that the upcoming ACICA/CIArb Australia International Arbitration Conference will include the second annual ‘Next Generation’ panel to showcase new ideas from, and the talent of, the next generation of arbitration thought leaders.
The panel will feature exciting presentations on four topics of fresh interest, emerging jurisdictions and current controversy. We invite topic proposals to be submitted by 22 August 2022.
All proposals must:
- Be the author’s own original work, the substance of which is unpublished¹
- Be submitted in a word document not exceeding 500 to 800 words.
- Clearly identify in the covering email the author’s nationality/nationalities, age (applicants must be under 45 years of age²), location, affiliation, and qualifications. Applicants should also indicate that they agree to attend in person (subject to applicable restrictions).
- Be submitted by email to secretariat@acica.org.au.
Each proposal will be reviewed by a review committee consisting of members from both the ACICA45 Steering Committee and CIArb YMG. The review committee will submit a shortlist of names to the Conference Organising Committee to select four panellists. The selection results will be announced by mid-September 2022. Panellists are expected to bear their own travel expenses but will receive a full waiver of the conference fee. Panellists selected must be prepared to speak for ten minutes on their topic at the conference. The panel will be moderated by Guillermo Garcia-Perrote (ACICA45) and Robert Tang (CIArb YMG).
1 The four proposals selected for presentation must not published (or included in any publication) until after 7 November 2022
2 The review committee retains a discretion to consider proposals from applicants older than 45 years of age as at 7 November 2022 if they can conclusively demonstrate less than 5 years’ practice in arbitration. Please contact the secretariat@acica.org.au in advance of making a submission to confirm eligibility.
