DEEPER CONNECTIONS

Dubai Arbitration Week is an annual event connecting Dubai's vibrant arbitration community with practitioners, experts, thought leaders, and institutions from around the world. A curated programme of workshops, panel discussions and networking opportunities, the week showcases Dubai's growing influence as an international dispute resolution hub, shaping modern arbitration practice. Dubai Arbitration Week is not-for-profit, community led and shaped by a dedicated committee with the generous support of sponsors and partners. Since its launch in 2011, the week has attracted over 10,000 arbitration practitioners and professionals, and it is now one of the largest and most widely attended arbitration gatherings in the world. What sets Dubai Arbitration Week apart is its unique power to convene—an ingrained part of the city's history and culture and reflective of its first recorded name: Al Wasl or "the connection" in Arabic. Dubai Arbitration Week is at a crossroad of cultures, convening the world's West, East, North and South to address emerging issues, deliberate innovations and trends, and drive positive change.
