In showcasing the benefits of the UAE as a preferred jurisdiction for alternative dispute resolution, EMAC presented Dubai’s bid with the UAE to become the first Middle East country to host the event since ICMA’s inception in 1972.
“I am very pleased and proud to hear that the UAE is the choice to host ICMA XXII in 2022/2023. This brings immense pride to the country and the community as it presents a great opportunity for the region’s maritime law community to showcase their expertise,” said Mr. Majid Obaid bin Bashir, Chairman and Secretary General of EMAC.
ICMA is a significant and informative event for the global maritime arbitration sector, and is in every maritime and commercial arbitrator’s calendar. It is a forum for maritime arbitrators, mediators and lawyers from around the world to deliberate and exchange views. The conference is generally attended by arbitrators, lawyers, ship owners, charterers, and commercial professionals.
