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.

I simply loved GAR Live Dubai. The quality of the sessions, and the level of interaction with the audience were quite impressive; truly unique features of the GAR events. Participants remained interactive until the very end, sharing insights and laughter. What more do you want from a full day event!
