ACICA & Ciarb Australia International Arbitration Conference 2024

14 October 2024, Brisbane

This year the well-established lead event of Australian Arbitration Week (AAW), the ACICA & CIArb International Arbitration Conference, was entitled Powering the Future and Going for Gold: Is Arbitration Ready? The theme looked to the future of arbitration, the opportunities and challenges major sectors, such as energy and construction face, how sports arbitration can propel us forward, and how the fundamental elements of arbitration can be developed to power us into the future.

The keynote speaker for this year’s Conference brought business and sport to the forefront of discussions, speakers from Australia and across the globe shared their perspectives through six dynamic sessions exploring different elements of the theme, and the much anticipated quiz concluded the Conference!

The sessions included:

A keynote address by Dr Michelle Gallen, CEO of the Australian National Sports Tribunal

We are delighted to have brought the Conference to Brisbane, a city that is experiencing an exciting period of growth and development as it prepares to host the Summer Olympics in 2032.
