In this issue of the Bulletin, I am delighted to announce ADC’s Training Calendar for 2022. Please see events and dates below. In particular, for those of you yet to complete your National Mediation Accreditation training, our ever-popular ‘Sizzling Summer’ Mediation Course starts on 12 January 2022 and we will be joined by special guest speaker, The Hon. Terry Sheahan AO.
It was Australian Arbitration Week from 18 - 22 October 2021. AAW21 was jammed packed with a myriad of speakers on a range of hot topics. ADC’s Associates and Interns covered events on AAW21 Blog, published in real time throughout the week. You can catch-up with a wrap-up of AAW21 in this Bulletin.
I wish everyone the best over the next few weeks leading up to the festive season. I will touch base with you again soon and hope to see many of you online and in-person on 14 December 2022.
Warm Regards,

High-stakes, multi-party, international negotiations are not for the faint hearted. There have been mixed reactions to the results of COP26. H.E. Mr. Alok Sharma, President of COP26 was brought to tears at a final press conference when China and India had made new demands after talks had moved into overtime.
