The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) Nigeria Branch has appointed T2 as the Exclusive Technology Partner for its 2025 Annual Conference and Gala Night, reinforcing the growing role of digital infrastructure in shaping modern arbitration and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) across Africa.

The conference, themed: “Connecting the Dots: Core Principles, Innovation, and Meaningful Outcomes in ADR,” will be held from November 12 to 14, 2025, Lagos. It is expected to bring together leading voices from the legal, corporate, and policy sectors to discuss how innovation and technology are transforming the future of business dispute resolution.

As the exclusive technology provider, T2 will deliver the digital backbone of the three-day event, ensuring seamless connectivity, high-speed internet access, real-time engagement, and hybrid participation for delegates joining both physically and virtually. The partnership will enable live streaming, interactive sessions, and on-demand digital features, creating an inclusive platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration.

Ifeloju Alakija, senior vice president, Corporate Services at T2, said, “At T2, we see technology not just as a tool, but as a lifestyle enabler that connects people to new possibilities. Our partnership with CIArb Nigeria reflects our mission to deliver seamless connectivity and smart digital solutions that empower individuals and institutions to work, learn, and live better.”

Alakija added that the collaboration underscores T2’s commitment to digital inclusion and smart innovation, saying the company is proud to align with CIArb Nigeria in creating an ecosystem where technology drives meaningful outcomes.

The CIArb Nigeria Annual Conference is regarded as the country’s premier arbitration and dispute resolution forum, attracting hundreds of participants from Nigeria and beyond. The 2025 edition will feature panel discussions, keynote sessions, networking events, and a gala night celebrating excellence in ADR practice.

By integrating technology at the core of the event, the organisers aim to enhance not just the logistics of participation but also the depth of engagement and accessibility, an increasingly vital factor in a post-pandemic professional landscape where hybrid collaboration has become the norm.

Industry observers say T2’s partnership with CIArb reflects a broader trend of digital convergence in the legal and arbitration sectors, where cloud-based systems, virtual hearings, and real-time data sharing are reshaping how disputes are resolved.

For CIArb Nigeria, the alliance with T2 reinforces its reputation as a forward-looking institution committed to leveraging innovation for professional growth, transparency, and efficiency within the dispute resolution ecosystem.

“The CIArb Nigeria Annual Conference remains a cornerstone for the arbitration and business community. Our collaboration with T2 exemplifies the fusion of tradition and innovation, connecting principles with technology to achieve meaningful outcomes,” said a statement from the organisers.
