Overview
The RICS Dispute Resolution Service celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2026, and this conference is the highlight of the year’s events.
It will bring together senior figures from across the dispute resolution community, the legal profession, industry, and academia to explore how alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is evolving to meet the needs of the built environment. A central theme will be the responsible integration of emerging technologies (particularly artificial intelligence) as we look ahead to how these tools may support and shape the future of professional practice whilst highlighting the inherent risks involved in its development and application.
Learning outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- Understand how artificial intelligence and digital tools are being integrated into dispute resolution processes.
- Assess the potential benefits and efficiencies these technologies can bring to professional practice.
- Understand the ethical, legal, and professional risks associated with the use of AI and other emerging technologies in ADR processes.
- Learn strategies for responsible use of AI that align with RICS professional standards.
