To mark the launch of its Young Arbitrators Forum (YAF), ICC will be hosting a weekend conference especially designed for lawyers and in-house counsel under the age of 40. In collaboration with the YAF US chapter, the training taking place in Barcelona on 27-29 June will offer a rare opportunity for young lawyers and in-house counsel working in the field of international arbitration to spend a weekend training with renowned arbitrators, members of the ICC International Court of Arbitration and its Secretariat.

The weekend offers 6 hours of academic training with stars and rising stars in arbitration, including plenary sessions and informal debates along with parallel workshops designed especially for in-house counsel and lawyers.

To help strengthen links within the young arbitration community, a number of networking opportunities have been worked into the programme. Throughout the weekend, participants will have the opportunity to take a photo journalistic tour of the city, discover Gaudi’s works of art or visit the famous Picasso museum.
