As emerging technologies reshape critical infrastructure and global commerce, projects involving satellites, drones, and data centers are becoming increasingly sophisticated and cross‑border in nature. This program brings together leading practitioners to examine which points of contention tend to arise in these projects – and which disputes are best suited for resolution through arbitration.
Our distinguished panel will explore key legal and practical challenges, highlighting real‑world scenarios and offering strategic, practice‑oriented insights for arbitrators, counsel, and in‑house lawyers navigating disputes at the intersection of technology, infrastructure, and international law.
Attendees are encouraged to participate in the conversation through dedicated time for Q&A during the program.
There will also be an opportunity to continue the conversation and network with participants during a cocktail reception immediately following the presentation.

All are cordially invited to a cocktail reception immediately after the panel.
