ABA Section of Dispute Resolution Spring Conference Seeks Presenters

The American Bar Association Section on Dispute Resolution convenes its 22nd Annual Spring Conference April 22-25, 2020 in New Orleans–three weeks after the IOA conference. The conference theme is "Innovation, Improvisation, and Inspiration." Organizers are inviting proposals for 75-minute sessions that highlight both proven and cutting-edge approaches to resolving and preventing conflict and address how to develop and manage dispute resolution practices

According to their announcement, the Conference Committee plans to schedule "significantly fewer concurrent educational programs than in past years and Section Committees will be encouraged to curate programs that address the conference theme and the most current content in our field." Program proposals must be submitted by 5:00 pm Eastern on September 2, 2019. (ABA Sec Dispute Resolution Conf RFP.)
