A joint presentation of the ADR Institute of Canada, the ADR Institute of Alberta, and the Alberta Branch of the Canadian Bar Association

9:00 am – 12:15 pm: Negotiation (includes 15-minute break)
Negotiation is the process of communication intended to reach an agreement where parties have some shared interests and some that are opposed. Many negotiations proceed based solely on intuition, but you can be more strategic. Far better to negotiate based on the merits rather than on what parties say they will or won’t do.
12:15 – 1:00 pm: Lunch - provided on-site
1:00 – 3:00 pm: Mediation
Mediation with the assistance of a trained independent neutral facilitator is a timely and economical way for parties to resolve conflict. It is a process based on promoting cooperation and communication for the resolution of disputes and the preservation of relationships. The involvement of an unbiased and neutral third party helps parties focus on the real issues, use principled negotiation, and avoid positional bargaining. A mediator can help multi-party disputes by being a repository of confidential information and offers to avoid relational bargaining.
3:00 – 3:15 pm: Break
3:15 – 4:45 pm: Arbitration (and Umpire Proceedings)
Arbitration is a private process for having a neutral third party or parties decide the outcome of a dispute. The parties can choose the arbitrator(s) and set their own process and rules. The result is binding and can become a court judgment.
4:45 – 5:30 pm: Reception sponsored by McLennan Ross
$350 plus GST includes lunch, refreshments and reception!
