Please join Open Arbitration for the first ever LGBTQIA+ event being hosted officially in partnership with a major international arbitration week. The session will delve into the current status of diversity and inclusion for the LGBTQIA+ community within international arbitration, what challenges are faced by individuals in different areas of practice, and why there is a need for groups such as Open Arbitration.

The event is being generously hosted by Freshfields and sponsored by Jus Mundi and Robbins Arbitration.

Registration: 16:30 – 17:00
Panel: 17:00 – 17:45

Open Arbitration is for anyone either in, or supportive of, the LGBTQIA+ community working in the area of arbitration, including those acting as counsel, arbitrator or expert, or those working in-house, in academia or at arbitral institutions. The group’s goal is to build connections, increase visibility, and promote inclusion for LGBTQIA+ individuals.
