The 7th annual Conference will take place in Riga, Latvia from Thursday 14 to Friday 15 June 2018 at the premises of the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga. From the wide variety of topics in the ever-evolving area of arbitration, this year’s Conference is devoted to the 60th anniversary of the New York Convention and to arbitration of corporate disputes in Ireland, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine.

In addition to discussions, conference participants are offered a guided tour of Riga, a seaside supper in Jurmala, as well as a spectacular riverboat dinner cruise down the river Daugava. For accompanying spouses, a special programme involves visits to museums and architectural sights.
