  • ORAL ARGUMENTS PLATFORM PROVIDER & TRAINING SESSIONS

    POSTED SATURDAY 3 March 2022

    The Vis East Moot Administration is delighted to inform you that eBram will be the platform provider for the 19th Vis East Moot (3rd VVE) oral arguments. The Vis East is excited to welcome back eBram, who provided the online platform for the 17th Vis East (1st VVE). eBram will host all virtual hearings using the Zoom platform.

    Training Sessions

    In order to ensure that our participants are familiar with the eBram platform and the relevant parameters for the Virtual Hearings, both eBram and the Vis East administration will host the following training sessions for teams and arbitrators. Both training sessions will be recorded and the recording will be made available online for those who are unable to attend the live session. Please note that while we recognize all of your busy schedules, the benefit of attending live sessions is having the opportunity to ask questions to both eBram and the Vis East administration during the trainings rather than having to email such questions.
