Among the speakers is former Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard AC, a highly accomplished figure in public service and mediation, who will take part in a ‘fireside chat’ about dispute resolution involving states and state entities. She will be joined by Lord (Peter) Goldsmith KC, PC, London Co-Managing Partner and Chair of European and Asian Litigation at Debevoise & Plimpton. A former Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith acted for the UK government in prominent international and domestic court cases.
CEO of the Virgin Group, Josh Bayliss, will provide a highly anticipated ‘view from business’ this year. During his 13-year leadership at Virgin, Bayliss has steered the company towards an increase in ESG investments, a topic he is expected to talk about further in his interview in front of delegates.
Other sessions will involve Partner and Global Claims and Disputes Leader at EY, Campbell Jackson, who will chair a panel of renowned senior in-house professionals discussing dispute resolution methods in today’s changing international business environment. The panel will include Suber Akther, Principal Litigation Counsel at Siemens Energy, and David Connolly, Head of Legal, Compliance and Litigation, Europe & IMEA, at IHG Hotels & Resorts.
Moira Thompson Oliver, Head of Business and Human Rights at Slaughter and May will chair a session on risk and reputation in a values-driven world. Delegates will also hear an exclusive address from world-renowned technology expert Richard Susskind OBE KC (Hon) on how practitioners can think about artificial intelligence in law, which will be followed by a panel session of experts.
High Court judge Mrs Justice Cockerill will join a panel of experts discussing disputes funding, and their predictions for its future. Mr Justice Henshaw, the head of the Commercial Court from September onwards, will moderate a session exploring the global landscape for enforcement of judgments and awards.
Main Conference delegates will gather at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre, the largest venue to host LIDW to date, for unparalleled insights into a range of topics. The unveiled agenda follows recent announcements that the Rt Hon. the Baroness Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill, Lady Chief Justice of England and Wales, and the Secretary-General of ICSID, Meg Kinnear, will deliver the opening and closing keynote speeches to those in attendance.
Sophie Lalor-Harbord, Co-Chair of the Main Conference Committee, said:
““We are delighted to unveil the agenda for this year’s Main Conference. Attendees can expect to gain invaluable insights from a line-up of exceptional speakers, as well as enjoy an exceptional social programme and networking opportunities.”
LIDW24 will occur through five days from Monday, 3rd, to Friday, 7th of June. Under the theme, ‘Uniting for Global Challenge and Opportunity’, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with leading experts and network with colleagues from around the world. This will be across over 100 Member Hosted Events throughout the week and a dedicated day on International Arbitration on the Monday.
With almost 500 speakers and over 100 panel sessions, LIDW23 brought together 3,000 in-person delegates, over 1,000 virtual delegates, and nearly 800 international delegates.
