The Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration (NCIA) is excited to announce the 2nd Nairobi Arbitration Week (NAW2025), set to take place from March 17th – 21st, 2025. Building on the momentum of its inaugural event, NAW2025 will focus on the Theme: “Arbitrating in the Age of Sustainability,” addressing the dynamic interplay between arbitration and sustainable development in today’s world. As a rising hub for international arbitration, Nairobi offers a unique platform to explore the evolving landscape of dispute resolution in the context of sustainability. NAW2025 will gather a diverse array of local and global arbitration practitioners, in-house counsel, academics, and industry experts to discuss cutting-edge topics that are shaping the future of arbitration.
