The Cambridge Arbitration Day brings together scholars, practitioners, and students for a discussion on recent developments in the field of international arbitration. This year’s event on 16 March 2019 was titled 'Social Aspects of International Arbitration'.

The main conference was preceded by a Young Practitioners’ Event organized in association with the ICC Young Arbitrators Forum (YAF) on 15 March 2019. This event was aimed at encouraging young practitioners to exchange professional experience and create a network that strengthens relationships within the young arbitration community.
