We hope to see you in Paris!
The 18th ICC International Commercial Mediation Competition is taking place from 6-11 February 2023 in Paris, France. The Competition is the International Chamber of Commerce’s largest educational event of the year and a unique networking opportunity. The ICC Mediation Week not only enables university students to practice and excel in negotiation and mediation advocacy while engaging in mock mediations, it is also a unique opportunity for experienced mediators to act as mediators, as well as for mediators young in experience to volunteer as “Mediation Session Supervisors”.
The Competition is proudly supported by the International Mediation Institute and the Young Mediators’ Initiative.
Hello Ivana, is the event being recorded to watch online? Or on Zoom live? Thank you! Zoë
Dear Zoe, this will be an in-person event. However, we will make a recap video of the thought leadership that emerges and will post it free of charge on our Youtube channel after the ICC mediation week concludes.
Thank you for your interest!
