Hong Kong, 18 April 2023
Hosted by Chair Dr. Christopher To, the Hong Kong Mediation Council coordinated the Hong Kong stop of the 10th-year anniversary world tour of the groundbreaking Sleeping Beauty Conference Series (SBCS) created by powerhouses Lela Love and Giuseppe De Palo.
Is mediation a sleeping beauty? Is mediation sleeping? Is it beautiful? Who will awake it? The series explores aspects of mediation that are beautiful, proven, and promising, making it logical that mediation would catch on. Despite the promise of mediation, however, it remains comatose in most countries, while adjudicative processes such as litigation and arbitration remain dominant.
