Ciarb Bahamas Branch Arbitration Day 2026

18 November 2026 | Hybrid Event (In Person and Virtual)

The CIArb Bahamas Branch is pleased to present its annual Arbitration Day 2026, a premier forum bringing together dispute resolution practitioners, business leaders, policymakers, legal professionals, and ADR stakeholders from across the region and beyond.

This year's theme, "ADR in a Changing World: Transformation, Transparency and Technology," explores the evolving role of alternative dispute resolution in advancing access to justice, supporting commercial certainty, and fostering sustainable economic development in an increasingly interconnected global environment. The programme will examine the challenges and opportunities arising from technological innovation, changing international standards, and the growing demand for transparency and accountability in dispute resolution processes.

The event will feature distinguished speakers, including:

Senator the Honourable Jerome K. Fitzgerald, Minister of Economic Affairs of The Bahama

John Bassie, Past Global President of CIArb, presenting "Restorative Justice and Mediation for Sustainable Outcomes"

Shan Greer, Chief Executive Officer of the BVI International Arbitration Centre, presenting "ADR in Construction and Infrastructure Disputes"

The Honourable Rubie Nottage (Ret.), former Justice of the Supreme Court of The Bahamas, presenting "The Art of Arbitration"

Through expert presentations and thought-provoking discussions, participants will gain valuable insights into emerging trends, best practices, and the future direction of ADR in a rapidly changing world.

Join us as we explore how transformation, transparency, and technology are reshaping dispute resolution and strengthening confidence in ADR as a vital mechanism for resolving disputes in the twenty-first century.
