Eleventh Annual Atlanta International Arbitration Society Conference

Join the Atlanta International Arbitration Society (“AtlAS”) for their Eleventh Annual AtlAS Conference and GAR Live Atlanta on September 12-14. This year includes an exciting line up of leading international arbitration practitioners from around the world for the first in-person conference in nearly three years.

The conference will kick off at 1 p.m. on September 12 at the offices of Smith Gambrell Russell (1105 West Peachtree Street) with the ICC-AtlAS Young Professionals Group Forum, and will be followed by four different tertulia sessions with speakers from numerous countries, and a happy hour. On September 13, GAR Live Atlanta will take place at King & Spalding (1180 Peachtree Street) starting at 9 a.m.

This year’s event, facilitated by the Global Arbitration Review, will feature two keynote speakers, Edna Sussman and Grant Hanessian, four exciting panel discussions including an Oxford style debate, plenty of networking opportunities throughout the day, and a rooftop reception.

The next morning, September 14 the AtlAS Forum will take place at McGuireWoods (1230 Peachtree Street), again starting at 9 a.m. Building off the excitement of the recent announcement that Atlanta has been selected as a World Cup 2026 Host City, this year’s AtlAS forum will focus on hot topics in international sports arbitration, and will feature several leading international experts in this area, as well as remarks from Dan Caruso, the president of the Atlanta Sports Council, who will discuss his efforts to make Atlanta a leading venue for international sporting events.
