What our attendees think of GAR Awards

The ceremony is designed to recognise excellence, celebrate achievements, facilitate professional connections and encourage community within the arbitration sector. But don't just take our word for it. Here are some of our guest's thoughts.

It’s always good to come together, to see colleagues, but especially so to support a good cause.
