Arbitration Practitioner Training Event: Cairo 2025

SOAS Arbitration and Dispute Resolution Centre (SADRC) in collaboration with the Capacity Building Committee of the African Arbitration Association (AfAA) invite you to participate in a Joint Arbitration Practitioner Training Event.

Purpose of event

The primary purpose of our SADRC/AfAA event is to continue to support the upskilling of African practitioners on the continent. This event offers a less formal and more inclusive space for the learning (and unlearning) and sharing of practical experience, which we can adopt to improve our practice. This form of learning, from our experience on the continent, is more receptive to our target audience and less invasive of their professional expertise or ability.

Attendance is free of charge but registration is required.

Programme

• 9:00am—10:00am: arrivals and registration with light breakfast
• 10:00am—12:30pm: Part A on witness evidence via demonstration and discussions
• 12:30pm—1:45pm: hot buffet lunch and networking
• 2:00pm—4:30pm: Part B on tribunal deliberations and drafting of award (circulate a draft award for discussion before the event)
• 4:30pm—5:30pm: canapés and drinks reception with more networking opportunities

Our discussion will flow from a case study all participants will receive (and be expected to read prior to the event) upon registration for the event.

We are grateful to our sponsors: SADRC; Beyuo & Co, Accra; AfAA; Wilmer Hale (London).
