Drawing inspiration from the Japanese philosophical art of Kintsukuroi - with the 'cracks' and imperfections of pottery denoting costly and harmful commercial disputes, this year's ASIA ADR WEEK 2019 has been designed to highlight the multi-faceted global order and the constant evolution of international commerce in the context of alternative dispute resolution, or ADR. Spanning across three days and tapping from a diverse and mixed culture of expertise and specializations from all over Asia, the ASIA ADR WEEK 2019 is set to showcase the versatility of ADR in responding to the ever-changing demands of globalization and will explore and highlight the various ways in which ADR can be used as a tool to mend the imperfections of the global economy i.e. 'to repair with gold'.
