This session will be conducted in the PechaKucha presentation format, where each speaker will present 20 slides, each displayed for 20 seconds, with slides advancing automatically. The total presentation time for each speaker will be six minutes and 40 seconds, with the final 20 seconds reserved for the moderator’s remarks. Following the presentations, the moderator will lead a Q&A segment with each panellist, allocating approximately five minutes per speaker.

The theme of the presentation will centre on the future of dispute resolution, with sub-themes including: 

1. Sanctions, geopolitics and arbitration: the new normal
2. Party autonomy v institutional control: how far can we bend the rules?
3. Specialised arbitration rules: tailored protocols or procedural flexibility
4. Emergency arbitrations: the use, misuse and the due process paranoia
5. Cross-examination: overplayed and underused
