Start the conference by enjoying a buffet dinner in the elegant surroundings of the iconic Grand Hotel et de Milan. Opened in 1863, the hotel still holds its charm and allure as an old ‘Milanese’ mansion, whose most famous long term guest was Giuseppe Verdi. Located in the heart of the city, and a few steps from the Teatro alla Scala, the Grand Hotel et de Milan will provide the perfect backdrop for an enjoyable evening.
This event is open to all delegates.

1115 – 1315 SESSION TWO
The mushrooming of International Commercial Courts throughout Europe – reasons and perspectives
In 2016, on the occasion of the 2nd IBA Litigation Committee Conference on Private International Law, we explored the new phenomenon of the International Commercial Courts and discussed whether the 2005 Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements could enhance their role in international commercial dispute resolution. Since that time, and also in light of Brexit we have been assessing the mushrooming of International Commercial Courts throughout Europe.
This session will examine the experiences of several jurisdictions and focus on the future perspective on the phenomenon in Europe.

Conference sell-outsThe IBA places its conferences in venues of a suitable size for each event; however, there are times when our conferences may sell out. Should this happen, prospective delegates will be informed and a waiting list will operate. The waiting list will function on a ‘first come, first served’ basis, subject to receiving registered delegate cancellations. The waiting list for a conference will close once it has reached 10% of the conference venue capacity, as it is very unlikely a place will become available. The IBA will not be liable for any travel or accommodation expenses incurred by an individual who travels to a conference without a confirmed place at the event.
Cancellation of registration If cancellation is received in writing at the IBA office by 27 September 2019, fees will be refunded less a 25 per cent administration charge. Refunds will be made minus any monies owed to the IBA.We regret that no refunds can be made after this date. Registrations received after 27 September will not be eligible for any refund of fees. Please note that NO exception will be made to this policy. Should you have difficulties in obtaining your visa and are not able to attend the Conference this cancellation policy will still apply.

Delegates are responsible for making accommodation reservations directly with the hotel and entering into an agreement with the hotel regarding credit card guarantees, cancellation terms and conditions, and room rates. The IBA cannot accept responsibility for hotel accommodation disputes between a delegate and the hotel.
Unauthorised accommodation agentsIt has been brought to our attention that there are multiple companies contacting past attendees, claiming to represent the IBA, offering ‘assistance’ with registration and hotel bookings.They are operating by cold-calling and spamming companies whose names have appeared on previous List of Participants, Programmes and Sponsorship recognition. The only Accommodation Agent the IBA works with is Judy Lane ICS. Judy Lane ICS do not contact delegates on behalf of the IBA without delegates making initial contact. Please ignore any communication that does not come directly from the IBA or Judy Lane ICS.
Disabled accessThe Palazzo Turati is wheelchair accessible. Please notify us if you require special assistance.
Continuing Professional Development /Continuing Legal Education
For Conference delegates from jurisdictions where CPD/CLE is mandatory, the IBA will provide a Certificate of Attendance for the Conference. Subject to CPD/CLE requirements, Conference delegates can use this to obtain the relevant number of hours’ accreditation. A CPD/CLE Certificate of Attendance is available to Conference delegates on request. Please ask at the IBA conference registration desk for information on how to obtain the certificate.
The organisers may at any time, with or without giving notice, in their absolute discretion and without giving any reason, cancel or postpone the conference, change its venue or any of the other published particulars, or withdraw any invitation to attend. In any case, neither the organisers nor any of their officers, employees, agents, members or representatives shall be liable for any loss, liability, damage or expense suffered or incurred by any person, nor will they return any money paid to them in connection with the conference unless they are satisfied not only that the money in question remains under their control but also that the person who paid it has been unfairly prejudiced (as to which, decision shall be in their sole and unfettered discretion and, when announced, final and conclusive).
IBA Harassment PolicyIBA conferences provide unrivalled professional development and network-building opportunities for international legal practitioners and their professional associates. The IBA values the participation of every delegate and member of the IBA and wants all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience.

International Bar Associationthe global voice of the legal profession
The International Bar Association (IBA), established in 1947, is the world’s leading organisation of international legal practitioners, bar associations, law firms and law societies.
The IBA influences the development of international law reform and shapes the future of the legal profession throughout the world. It has a membership of more than 80,000 individual lawyers and more than 190 bar associations and law societies spanning over 170 countries.
Inspired by the vision of the United Nations, the IBA was founded in the same spirit, just before the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed in 1948.
The IBA covers all practice areas and professional interests, providing members with access to leading experts and up-to date information, enabling them to better represent their clients’ interests.
Through its various committees, fora and task forces, the IBA facilitates the exchange of information and views among its members as to laws, practices and professional responsibilities relating to the practice of law around the globe.
