AAD-NY offers a unique opportunity to both seasoned professionals and aspiring practitioners alike to exchange information and build a critical community for promoting arbitration in Africa ? a truly emerging market for dispute resolution.?

The purpose of AAD-NY is to: (i) highlight important issues in international arbitration pertinent to the Africa region (ii) foster greater community among international arbitration practitioners in North America and Africa; and (iii) help develop the next generation of Africa-related arbitration practitioners.

AAD-NY 2025 will continue its tradition of hosting attendees for a day-long conference which includes an arbitration moot for students, two substantive panels, and a cocktail reception with hors d'oeuvres. New this year, AAD-NY will recognize an honoree who has made significant contributions to the field of arbitration on the African continent.
