Hugh Carlson will join the panel on “Arbitration and Technology” at the 40th anniversary conference for the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) School of International Arbitration.

The landmark conference will explore arbitration as an academic discipline in the context of economy, sociology, philosophy, regulation and history. It will also explore how arbitration has adapted to evolving global events: geographic, economic and technological.

The “Arbitration and Technology” panel will cover AI, privacy, and security, among other timely topics. Hugh’s co-panellists are Professor Maxi Scherer (QMUL) (moderator), Clement Fouchard (Reed Smith), Greg Falkof (Mishcon de Reya), and Ana Vermal (Proskauer Rose).

The conference will be held 10-11 September at the Queen Mary University of London’s Mile End campus. To find out more and to register, click here.
