The 11th Annual Spring Conference of the American Bar Association Section on Dispute Resolution gets underway this Thursday, April 16, in New York City.
ADR professionals and scholars from throughout the US and elsewhere around the globe will gather to explore this year’s theme, “ADR: Building Bridges to a Better Society“.
Several ADR bloggers will be there, including me, Vickie Pynchon (Settle It Now) Geoff Sharp (Mediator Blah Blah), Mediator Jeff (Enjoy Mediation), Jeff Krivis, Don Vanarelli, and the gang at National Arbitration Forum. (By the way, NAF is a platinum sponsor of the conference.)
I’ll also be live blogging and Twittering the event (fingers crossed against technical difficulties), so if you can’t make it to the Big Apple yourself this week, bloggers like me will be able to keep you informed about what’s going on. Of course if you’re planning to attend, please be sure to track me down and say hi.
Safe travels to those who are coming, and hope to see you there!

Be sure to take LOTS of photos at the meetup! And have a grand time. I will be there in spirit.
You bet, Stephanie. Will do! We’ll certainly miss you. One day…
Hi, Diane!
Sounds like lots of fun!
Unfortunately the press of business will keep me in California.
Best,
Nancy
btw, i not only go by “Mediator Jeff” but also just “Jeff” and “Jeff Thompson”
Nancy, I’m sorry you won’t make it this time…hopefully next year! Should you ever get to Boston, though, I hope you’ll let me know.
Hey Jeff, I always thought “Mediator Jeff” was your superhero name. Besides, I was just trying to keep your true identity secret (confidentiality is what we mediators do best). See you soon in New York – I’m a big fan of “Enjoy Mediation”!
