The program includes keynote speeches and panel discussions featuring prominent figures in the field, such as Supreme Court justices and leading arbitration practitioners. The conference will commence at 2:30 PM and conclude at 7:00 PM, featuring two main parts. The first part will address the challenges of arbitral awards from the court's perspective, while the second part will explore the intersection of arbitration, sanctions, and ordre public. In addition to the main event, there are several pre-events and post-event receptions scheduled, providing further opportunities for networking and discussion among participants. Organized by the Scandinavian Institute of Maritime Law, the Oslo Centre for Commercial Law, and the Norwegian Arbitration Association (NAA), the Norwegian Arbitration Day aims to foster dialogue and collaboration within the arbitration community, enhancing understanding and practice in this vital area of law.
