This year's DRBF International Conference is more than an event, it's a milestone. As we celebrate 30 years, we're gathering in Rome, Italyโa city rich with history and inspirationโto reflect on our origins and the legacy that shaped who we are today. We will celebrate the leadership and lessons that built our foundation while boldly stepping into what comes next for Dispute Boards on the global stage. Join us as we gather the community, elevate new ideas, and celebrate the journey that brought us hereโbecause the next chapter starts now, and we're writing it together.
We are pleased to announce that this year's conference will be hosted at the Auditorium Antonianum in the heart of this dynamic city, where each block tells a story of history, culture, and longevity. There are a variety of hotel options offered at different price points in walking distance, and the venue is close to metro and train stations.
Optional extra events include training workshops, a site visit of the Metro C project (already on a waitlist), and the Al Mathews Award for Dispute Board Excellence Reception and Dinner at the spectacular Acquario Romano. Extend your social time with DRBF colleagues on Saturday post-conference by joining optional tours of two of Rome's unique cultural sites.
Register today to join the global Dispute Board community in Rome this Mayโ
you won't want to miss this historic celebration of 30 years of DRBF!
The Rome Bar Association has granted n. 4 credits for each conference day
