The conference commenced the morning of March 9, at San Francisco’s storied Palace Hotel, and continued throughout the following day. The participants heard from a savvy corporate panel which gave practical tips on dispute resolution in the Asia-Pacific region, and from speakers on such topics as arbitration of intellectual property disputes, third party funding of arbitrations, arbitrator selection and enforcing an arbitral award in light of strict sovereign immunity laws, among others.
“The caliber of the attendees and the discussion was the best I have ever experienced at a conference,” said Mary Comeau of Calgary. Steven Smith, a partner at O’Melveny & Meyers LLP, and a longtime supporter of the conference, called this year’s program “fantastic.”
With the glowing accolades and cutting edge topics, Cedric Chao, a partner at Morrison & Foerster and also a longtime conference supporter, stated, “Our collective goal should be to grow this conference into a ‘must attend’ event.”
ICC’s Fourth Annual Asia-Pacific Conference is scheduled to be held in May 2013 in Seoul, South Korea.
