What is this?
Arbitration Happy Hour is a new format launched by Svenja Wachtel and Sneha Ashtikar on Clubhouse, the social networking app based on audio-chat.
Update:
We had to pause the Arbitration Happy Hour! Why? Read below
Corona seems to slow down (fingers crossed) and many people are back in the office, everyone is craving in person interaction so we have to adapt the AHH format.
What is changing:
- Concept same as before: One or more speaker talking to us (Sneha Ashtikar and I) about a topic in international arbitration
- Frequency – Monthly (not weekly anymore)
- Where – Live session on Zoom with interactive Q&A, and – here is the good part – we will make a podcast (no video) out of it. So, if you cannot join for the live session, you can still listen to it whenever you like
- AHH Meetups: three or four times a year we will actually meet in a city, host a live #ArbitrationHappyHour and will meet for drinks
Follow us on LinkedIn or simply further announcements here. We already have a line up on topics ranging from Maritime Arbitration to Insurance Arbitration to Emergency Arbitrator and more.
See you at the next AHH soon!
On February 11, 2021, Svenja and Sneha started the #ArbitrationHappyHour on Clubhouse. Every Thursday at 6pm (CET), they spoke with their guest(s) about various arbitration-related topics. The hope is to facilitate an exchange of ideas and share experiences on a variety of arbitration-related matters through this new medium.
Following 20 successful episodes, Sneha and Svenja concluded season 1 and enjoyed the summer break. Season 2 starts on Thursday, September 16, 2021. Clubhouse is now open to everyone, no invite needed. All future episodes will be featured here and on Digital Coffee Break in Arbitration.
