2022 New York Arbitration Week

NYIAC and CIArbNY are pleased to continue their joint leadership of New York Arbitration Week (NYAW) for the fourth consecutive year. The program will continue to showcase New York as a leading global seat and center for thought leadership and feature a diverse range of formats and speakers on issues relevant to the global arbitration community. We look forward to welcoming those who attend in person in New York and engaging with those who participate around the world.

The theme of New York Arbitration Week 2022 is “International Arbitration: Who’s In Charge.” This is a broad umbrella that includes a number of possible topics, which focus on shared responsibilities in international arbitration. These possible themes include the allocation of responsibilities between courts and arbitral tribunals on the most sensitive issues in an arbitration; the role of users; how courts in various regions have contributed, and are contributing, to the development of international arbitration; limits to party autonomy created by arbitration institutions or tribunals; and the work being done by UNCITRAL.

The week of events will include a featured panel program presented by JAMS, and programs by the American Arbitration Association/International Centre for Dispute Resolution (AAA/ICDR), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), and International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (CPR), ArbitralWomen, SIAC, Praelium, the New York City Bar, Young International Arbitration Practitioners of New York, Silicon Valley Arbitration and Mediation Center (SVAMC), the American Society of International Law, and Three Crowns.

The capstone of New York Arbitration Week will be the 17th Fordham Law School Annual Conference on International Arbitration & Mediation.

As disputes become increasingly complex who will help navigate the onslaught of matters inextricably intertwined with sophisticated tech, data and artificial intelligence? Throughout every industry, cyber risks are on the rise: hacking, malevolent non-state actors, lightning-fast virtual warfare, smart contracts gone awry, and security threats abound. When borders are fluid, perpetrators anonymous and fact patterns hidden in code, how should the international arbitration community proceed? Panelists with experience resolving cyber-related disputes will provide a snapshot of where we are and offer guidance for the path forward.
