  • 2016 Annual Conference



The 2016 ACR-GNY Annual Conference is set for June 16 at Cardozo Law School.  Over 200 conflict resolution professionals gather each year at the Conference to network and benefit from panels and workshops on current topics impacting the field of dispute resolution -  from local community mediation to international peacemaking and from restorative justice initiatives to commercial practice, and much more.

 

Our 2016 Annual Conference theme, ‘Bridging the Divide,’ is especially relevant in today’s complex societal and political climate – where conflict resolution plays an increasingly important role in business, in our communities, and in our society.
