ICA at Liverpool's International Business Festival

Our Managing Director, Bill Kingdon, joined the panellists at the world’s biggest business event, the International Business Festival in a specially constructed venue by designer Wayne Hemingway. Hosting over 50 major global events and conferences, in addition to the core programme, the event attracted almost 30,000 delegates.
Bill was a member of the panel exploring new approaches to on-line dispute resolution. In his presentation focusing on addressing the challenges of employing innovative, digital techniques in a complex and traditional commodity sector, Bill led the crowd through a discussion challenging traditional practice and asking whether other collaborative techniques have the potential for faster, cheaper and more flexible outcomes.
New contacts were made and conversations begun that will help the International Cotton Association to adapt its own practises and techniques to emerging best practise and to explore the approaches that best meet the demands and characteristics of the cotton sector.
