Annual MAA International Commercial Law & Arbitration Conference

Annual MAA International Commercial Law & Arbitration Conference
22–26 March 2021 Webinar Series

The Annual MAA International Commercial Law and Arbitration Conference combines the two most long-standing conferences of the Willem C. Vis Moot Competition in Vienna: the Annual Generations in Arbitration Conference which is in its 18th year and the Annual Peter Schlechtriem CISG Conference which is in its 12th year.

Due to the global health concerns, we have turned our Conference to a Webinar Series, which will be held through 22 to 26 March 2021, and sponsored once again by Zeiler Floyd Zadkovich.

The latest program flyer with the exciting lineup of panels can be found here, and the speakers’ bio here.

While the webinar is open to everyone, as set out in our flyer, the webinar series is only free of cost for current Paid MAA Members.

We invite you to upgrade your Free MAA Membership or subscribe to a Paid MAA Membership for EUR 20 at www.maa.net to take advantage of all of the benefits of a paid membership. Such benefits include complimentary access to all of the MAA Conferences, including the Inaugural MAA Speaker Series and GIA Conferences, electronic access to the MAA’s Vindobona Journal, and many more.

Should you choose not to subscribe for a MAA Paid Membership, in order to access the MAA’s Annual International Commercial Law and Arbitration Conference 2021, participation in the webinar will cost EUR 10 for Free MAA Members and Non-MAA Members.
