This year’s discussions will cover recent legislative reforms across Europe, including Finland, and the use of AI and digital tools in arbitration. The program will also explore how advocacy in arbitration has evolved over the years, with insights from platforms like the Vis Moot, as well as the role of technology in shaping advocacy.
