Join us for an interactive session with Alexander Fessas, and Breakfast to kick off the 3rd Italian Arbitration Forum.

Seize this exclusive opportunity to take part in an informal, behind-the-scenes conversation with Alexander Fessas, Secretary General of the ICC International Court of Arbitration and Director of ICC Dispute Resolution Services. In a relaxed and interactive format, Alexander will share insights from his professional journey and offer a first-hand look at how the ICC tackles procedural hurdles in arbitration.

 

The program will combine a fireside-style interview with Alexander and practical case studies on procedural challenges. Far from a traditional lecture, this session is designed as a dynamic exchange, giving participants direct access to the ICC’s perspective and practical guidance on navigating procedural complexities.

 

With only a very limited number of spots available, this ICC YAAF event promises to be an exclusive, small-scale gathering—a unique chance to learn from Alexander’s experience, explore best practices in procedure, and expand your network in a truly engaging setting.
