ArbCEE Match: Connect Better
On the morning following Tallinn Arbitration Day 2026, ArbCEE invites arbitration practitioners to start the day differently: with a fast-paced networking session designed to move beyond elevator pitches and help participants make professional connections that actually continue after the event.
Date: Friday, 9 October 2026
Time: 09:00–10:00
Venue: Estonian Bar Association, Kentmanni 4, 10116 Tallinn, Estonia
Good networking is less about delivering the perfect introduction and more about starting the right conversation. ArbCEE Match will bring together arbitration practitioners for two rounds of moderated speed networking over coffee and light canapés.
Four discussion leaders will each host a small group, using carefully selected questions and prompts to get the conversation moving, help participants find common ground and create an initial foundation for meaningful professional relationships.
Discussion leaders:
Paschalis Paschalidis, Partner at Gaillard Banifatemi Shelbaya Disputes
Svenja Wachtel, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer at The Quality Group
Tomáš Richter, Attorney and Arbitrator at JSK Prague
Kristi Traagel, Senior Associate at Ellex Estonia
Introductory remarks by Denis Parchajev, Partner at MOTIEKA, and Piotr Paprota, Independent Counsel and Arbitrator at Paprota Arbitration.
Schedule:
09:00–09:10 – Arrival, coffee and registration
09:10–09:15 – Welcome remarks and introduction to ArbCEE and the format
09:15–09:30 – Round 1: moderated speed networking
09:30–09:45 – Table rotation and Round 2: moderated speed networking
09:45–10:00 – Wrap-up and transition to ICC YAAF
No presentations – just good questions, new people and conversations worth continuing.
