Call for Submissions: ABA's 2023 Dispute Resolution Section Spring Conference

The American Bar Associations Dispute Resolution Section is seeking program proposals for next year’s Dispute Resolution Spring Conference! The conference will be held entirely in-person at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, May 10-13, 2023. This is the world’s largest ADR conference, where attendees gather to learn the latest in dispute resolution techniques and trends, exchange ideas with experts and peers, and strengthen their professional relationships. The theme of this year’s conference is “Leading Change Through ADR: Strategies for Navigating Our World Today.” 

Organizers encourage program proposals from anyone who can enlighten and connect with dispute resolution leaders, mediators, arbitrators, Ombuds, judges, attorney advocates, court administrators, neutral providers, ADR consumers, and legal educators. The proposal deadline is October 12, 2022 at 5pm ET. (ABA DRS Conf Proposal Guidelines.)

Note: Liz Hill (University of Colorado Boulder) is the Planning Committee Co-Chair and is working to increase the programming for and about Ombuds. One topic she wants to include is conflict management/dispute resolution systems within organizations.
