More Information

The 2021 conference theme is “Agility, Disruption and Reinvention: ADR in a New World.”

Our world faced many extreme challenges in 2020, including a deadly global pandemic requiring seismic shifts in our personal and professional lives. We have witnessed incidents of police killing black people and heightened awareness and denial of racial bias and injustice. We also have witnessed both non-violent and violent confrontations, all in a highly contentious political environment. This year’s conference will examine how these and other recent events have disrupted the field of dispute resolution, how the field has adapted, and what additional reinvention may be necessary or beneficial.

Each day of the conference will include live educational webinars and opportunities to network and socialize real-time with your colleagues. We will have CLE and non-CLE programs on mediation, technology, advocacy, diversity, practice development, arbitration, legal education, ombuds, court ADR, and more. A great advantage of the virtual conference is that you can also experience every session on-demand.

Join us to connect with the entire dispute resolution community and recharge your professional batteries from the convenience of your home and at a fraction of the normal cost.
