Forum organised by the UIA with the support of the Malaga Bar Association (Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de Málaga)
The UIA World Forum of Mediation Centres was created in 2001. It brings together the best commercial mediation practitioners and ADR centres from around the world, together with managers, academics, teachers, trainers, young practitioners, and all those interested in learning more about mediation.
The Forum takes place every 9 months in different countries around the world. It fosters the exchange of views on the development of ADR; enhances knowledge and best practices; gives new ideas; and ensures the best understanding of ADR and learning from other cultures.
The worldwide health crisis caused by COVID-19 has driven us all to an unprecedented scenario and has led to no other alternative than to adapt ourselves to this situation. The 2 previous editions of the Forum took place virtually and it is a great pleasure to have the opportunity to meet again physically, in Malaga.
This 30th Forum promises to again be very exceptional because it will be the opportunity to gather experiences, ideas, observations about development of mediation and make comparison to enhance our knowledge and our practice. Do not miss this opportunity to meet with your colleagues, other professions connected to mediation practices, and other cultures.
Malaga is a town to discover, a mediation discovery, a place to have a great Forum.
The various sessions of the Forum will again be stimulating and attractive, bringing together managers interested in the understanding and development of mediation for their companies, experienced and younger mediators, lawyers, academics, judges and students who are our future decision makers.
Do not miss this opportunity to learn and enhance your knowledge and practice of mediation.
The 30th Forum will be an unforgettable international event. Practitioners from all around the world have already confirmed their participation.
Mark your diaries now, save the date and make sure to register!
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Malaga!
