XIV International Arbitration Congress, Costa Rica

The XIV International Arbitration Congress (CAI Costa Rica 2023) took place in February in San José, where over 200 leading professionals and experts in the field of international arbitration from all over the world gathered to discuss relevant and current issues in this area.
In addition, this edition celebrated the 100-year anniversary of the Court of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). The ICC worked hard in the successful coordination and preparation of every detail, making it a well-worth celebration.

CAI Costa Rica is widely recognized in the world of international arbitration for allowing participants to exchange insights and discuss current challenges in the world of arbitration. It helps to promote academic development by understanding the problems and challenges faced by the arbitration and commercial dispute resolution community through the insights of important professionals with vast experience in the field. It also constitutes an opportunity to strengthen relationships between arbitration professionals and the institutions that promote its use around the world.

This year, we saw panels and conferences by leading arbitration experts, both regional and global, who shared their experiences and celebrated the return of that face-to-face attendance that has been so missed in this post-pandemic period. A wide range of issues affecting arbitration were covered, such as the need to strengthen relations with the judiciary, the importance of implementing and strengthening mediation, the need to pay greater attention to financial planning, the clear conceptualization of damages to obtain a correct compensation, the correct handling of the theory of the case, and the impact of the use of the different technologies.
