Interested in presenting at our 2024 Annual Conference?
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
As NYSDRA's signature event, the 2024 Annual Conference: Join the Resolution!, is a clarion call for current and aspiring ADR practitioners across the state to come together with fellow practitioners, experts, and leaders in the field to build a stronger, more inclusive, and resolute dispute resolution community.
The conference draws content experts and key partners across the ADR spectrum. The focus of the event is on learning, networking, and sharing ideas and innovations to advance the field of dispute resolution, supporting practitioners, and enabling those seeking and promoting access to justice to connect with the individuals and organizations trained and prepared to provide quality dispute resolution services.
We hope that you will join us for two days of engaging presentations, thought-provoking discussions, workshops, and interactive sessions designed to enhance your knowledge and skills in the field of conflict resolution.
In the coming weeks, more details on the conference agenda and registration will be shared with you. Be sure to stay tuned for updates on our website and social media channels!
