The HK Arbitration Charity Ball is a new event on the Hong Kong calendar aimed at raising funds to support local Hong Kong charities and to assist in the development of arbitration across Asia. The Ball will be held at the Conrad Hong Kong on Tuesday, 16 October at 7:30pm and will provide a touch of glamor to HK Arbitration Week. It will be an evening of fine food, music and dancing and we plan to hold a raffle and a charity auction. It is a chance for all of us to let down our hair and make new friends, while at the same time contributing to our community.

This event is part of the Hong Kong Arbitration Week, discounts are available for registering for multiple events:
