Introductory & Closing Remarks

ArbitralWomen Diversity Networking Sessions

ArbitralWomen is pleased to host networking sessions premised on the theme of diversity in the broadest sense.  There has been significant progress in some areas of diversity, most notably gender, while there is still much to be achieved. At the same time, there has been significant civil unrest in many parts of the world due to racial and ethnic tensions.

Each networking session will be led by two team members, who will facilitate our discussion of diversity issues while also encouraging an open exchange among attendees.  Networking sessions are not CLE programs.

Please note that while you may sign up for more than one networking session if desired, to ensure optimal allocation to breakout rooms for networking, we ask that you commit to attend once signing up.  To promote free discussion, the Chatham House Rule will apply to all networking sessions (i.e., participants are free to share information or views that are discussed during the session, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speakers or of any other participant may be revealed).
