Welcome to ODR Cyberweek 2008

 

 


October 13 - 17, 2008


Welcome to our 11th ODR Cyberweek, an all-online conference exploring the application of technology to dispute resolution and beyond!

Exciting things are occurring in the world of ODR! It is gratifying to see the growing interest from individuals and from those who see the value of ODR in a broadening range of offline and online settings. Cyberweek 2008 is an opportunity to exchange ideas and address challenges, and the success of Cyberweek depends on your involvement. If you have not engaged with us before, we hope that Cyberweek will be the beginning of a relationship with you.

Cyberweek is free and you can participate from any place at any time. We are in an era of accelerating change and complexity, two ingredients contributing to a need, perhaps a desperate need, for new approaches to resolving conflict. Cyberweek registrants come from over thirty countries and we invite the participation of all who recognize the role technology can play in preventing and resolving disputes.
