Overview
WIA Coffee Roulette is a series of bi-monthly events, aiming to provide a platform for worldwide arbitration practitioners to connect with each other and to encourage cross-cultural exchanges in the international arbitration community.
Each of the bi-monthly events will be divided into two parts:
- The first part is a 30-minute Main Room chat between a WIA host and a guest speaker
- The second part is a 30-minute Satellite Room chat. Each participant will be paired with another participant, who could be our guest speaker, in a Satellite Room for a private and informal chat. The Satellite Room chat will be entirely led by the two participants
The Main Room chat of the sixth WIA Coffee Roulette will be hosted by Dr. Ling Yang, Deputy Secretary-General of HKIAC and Chief Representative of the Shanghai Office, and joined by Prof. Bernard Hanotiau, Partner of Hanotiau & van den Berg, as the guest speaker.
Please join us on 18 December 2023 at 17:00 HKT for our final session in this series of WIA Coffee Roulette when Prof. Bernard Hanotiau will share highlights of his career, practice, and advice for younger practitioners and join our Satellite Room chat.
