The Asian Regional Meeting followed successful joint IADC programs earlier in the week sponsored by local bar associations and a number of other legal, academic, and business organizations in Shanghai and Shenzhen in which IADC leaders from Singapore, Germany, and the United States participated. Our special thanks, in particular to Benchmark Chambers International, the Shenzhen Bar Association, and the Shanghai University for Political Science and Law for their role in organizing the events. We also recognize the China Institute for Shanghai Cooperation Organization International Exchange and Judicial Cooperation (CNISCO) as a co-organizer of the Chinese Overseas Investment Legal Forum in Shanghai and the CIETAC – China International Economic and Arbitration and Trade Commission as a co-organizer of the IADC Chinese Corporate Counsel Symposium in Shenzhen. Both groups were instrumental in making the events successful.

The week's events were a successful step forward for the IADC's Asian Membership Initiative, which is designed to deliver greater IADC value to our members while expanding quality membership in Asia.
