Conference Presentation Selection Policy

Presenters of accepted 10-minute contributions receive a complimentary day pass for the full conference programme (excluding the festive dinner on Sunday, which is subject to a fee). Submissions are selected primarily on their merit and practical relevance for arbitration practitioners, including whether the topic reflects current practice or has been academically published; in addition, balanced representation of the focus regions (DACH countries and Central and Eastern Europe), attention to gender equality and underrepresented groups, and a considered mix of established and younger practitioners - who receive special encouragement despite the separate young practitioners’ event - are taken into account.

Where speakers are affiliated with business law firms, any support provided as sponsors may be considered favourably in the selection process, but it is not a precondition for being chosen.
