What attendees say
• The webinar has invited many experts to discuss different aspects of the CISG and arbitration, providing in-depth discussions on different aspects of the CISG and arbitration. I have learnt much from it and am indebted to all speakers.
• I found the debate very informative and it was exactly what I anticipated and wanted. I also found the presentation on the impact of the CISG on future railway transactions very informative and helpful. I would like to see more of such informative and challenging topics to be discussed.
• The scope of contents and the delivery by the speakers succeeded in clarifying many of my questions and gave me confidence in the CISG.
• Speakers touched on some of the key developments of the arbitral scene and it provided a good research framework.
