Ambassadors

To raise wider awareness of RIAC 2026, we are engaging our colleagues from various parts of the world to act as ambassadors for the Congress. Each ambassador plays a vital role in promoting RIAC and helps bridge the gap between diverse cultures, legal traditions, and approaches. Alongside their extensive experience in arbitration and alternative dispute resolution, RIAC ambassadors bring a deep appreciation of the values that underpin the objectives and vision of the Russian Arbitration Center.
