Now entering its second decade, the Symposium is a leading U.S. forum dedicated to Arbitration in the Pacific Rim, bringing together arbitrators, counsel, in-house lawyers, and institutional leaders from across the region.

The day will feature:

- Panels organized around industry and practice-specific developments

Designed to encourage candid exchange and meaningful engagement, the Symposium provides a setting for cross-border perspective and direct dialogue among those active in Pacific Rim disputes.
