“GAR Live Dubai was well worth the trip. Topics were carefully curated by GAR and covered new ground. Beyond the good networking, the format and insights offered by GAR Live set it apart from the usual arbitration conference." Brooks Daly, formerly Permanent Court of Arbitration

What our delegates say about GAR Live: Dubai
The turnout at GAR Live Dubai is always very strong, with high quality arbitration professionals from all over the world flying in to attend. The panels were thoughtfully curated, with a strong line up of excellent speakers. The enthusiastic audience participation - another sign the panels are interesting - makes for a very fruitful and engaging dialogue. I very much look forward to attending next year and would encourage others to do so as well.
GAR Live Dubai offered insightful discussions and was a fantastic opportunity to connect with leading professionals in the arbitration community. The organization and quality of the sessions were truly impressive, making it a valuable experience for anyone involved in international arbitration.
