2026 Virtual ADR Fair

Mapping the ADR Landscape: From Curiosity to Career

Convened by the Early Career Alternative Dispute Resolution Network (ECADRN) in collaboration with the Ray Corollary Initiative (RCI), the Scheinman Institute on Conflict Resolution at Cornell ILR School, and the American Arbitration Association (AAA), the Virtual ADR Fair is a national online convening designed to introduce students, early-career professionals, and ADR practitioners to the broad landscape of ADR. The Fair will showcase organizations, academic programs, training providers, and professional associations from across the U.S., while creating meaningful opportunities for connection and professional engagement.

This is an educational, mission-driven convening. The focus is on pipeline building, access, diversity, and workforce development in the ADR profession.

The Virtual ADR Fair is free for attendees. Attendees will register separately via Zoom Events hosted by the Scheinman Institute on Conflict Resolution at Cornell ILR School. Attendee registration is now open! Register here.
