About LIDW Young and Young at Heart

LIDW Young and Young at Heart (“YAYAH”) represents the broad community of stakeholders in London’s dispute resolution community that consider themselves to be Young or Young at Heart. Over the last few years our mission has been to ensure that during London International Disputes Week we provide a social forum for members of this community to gather, exchange ideas and develop their network.

We are somewhat unique in that eligibility to form part of our community does not depend on age or role. However, in an effort to ensure that our mission doesn’t become lost amongst the multitude of events, we ensure that all YAYAH events are tailored and targeted towards the YAYAH community.  This is reflected in the type of events, speakers and themes we select for our educational events, as well as the venues and the “informal” nature of our social events.

 

YAYAH & Co. Dinner Clubs

LIDW YAYAH’s mission is to provide educational and social networking opportunities of the highest quality to the YAYAH community.  It is a mission we are very passionate about and one that we feel should not be constrained by a single members list. 

With that in mind, in collaboration with several groups that share our same mission, LIDW YAYAH is launching the YAYAH & Co. Dinner clubs initiative. 

This initiative will see a series of dinner clubs running simultaneously across the City at carefully selected venues, each consisting of groups of 8 to 10 individuals. You will be able to dine (and wine) in the company of peers, engage in stimulating conversations and network in a somewhat more relaxed environment. There is no cost to secure your space however guests attending the Dinner Club will be asked to settle the bill on the night of the event.
