ASA below 40 Fall Seminar 2026
Arbitration Under Pressure:
Uncomfortable Evidence, Guerrilla Tactics & Contracts Under Fire
Event dates
20 November 2026
Event Location
Dolder Grand, Zurich
The annual ASA below 40 Fall Seminar returns to Zurich under the theme “Arbitration Under Pressure: Uncomfortable Evidence, Guerrilla Tactics & Contracts Under Fire.”
Three panels will tackle the less comfortable sides of arbitration:
- Awards, Bribes & Other Uncomfortable Evidence
- Guerrilla Tactics: When Does Procedural Disruption Become Good Advocacy?
- Arbitration in the Defence Industry: Contracts Under Fire
And this year comes with a bittersweet moment: after three memorable years as Zurich Co-Chair, we’ll celebrate Nino Sievi as his term comes to an end, thank him for everything he has brought to ASA below 40, and welcome our new Zurich Co-Chair. Expect drinks, dinner and, quite possibly, a few emotional speeches.
