Greetings,

It is time once again to prepare for the annual conference on Online Dispute Resolution, Cyberweek 2014. This online conference provides a week of activities and dialogue regarding the world of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) and how it relates to our work as conflict specialists. Cyberweek 2014 will take place Monday, November 3^rd through Friday, November 7^th.

We are currently in the process of identifying potential activities for the conference. Here are some questions to help you consider developing a proposal:

• Is there an arena of ODR you are an expert or practitioner which you would like to give a live webinar? How will those interested in ODR benefit from your expertise?
• Do you have any burning questions relevant to the world of ODR you feel would benefit from a large discussion? Would you be interested in facilitating a discussion forum based on these questions? How do you envision initiating this conversation?
• Do you have an ODR related product you would like to demonstrate to a large audience of scholars, practitioners, and students?
• Are there any ideas for activities (simulations, competitions, podcasts, or anything else) that would enhance skillsets for practitioners utilizing ODR?

If you would like to propose any type of  learning experience for Cyberweek 2014 please contact Bryan Hanson at bryanhanson@creighton.edu or Noam Ebner at Noamebner@creighton.edu by August 25^th, 2014.

** Once again Cyberweek will have a Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian track. To propose activities in these languages please contact Alberto Elisavetsky by email at Elisavetsky@gmail.com **

This sounds amazing, but it will be the 17^th iteration of Cyberweek. Since 2010, the Werner Institute has been assisting in the facilitation of Cyberweek by hosting it on the website www.ADRHub.com. Via this platform, thousands of participants have engaged in conversations with students, faculty members, and practitioners interested in the integration of technology into our dispute resolution processes. Once again, Cyberweek will be packed with engaging discussion forums, webinars, podcasts, demonstrations, simulations, and contests. We are also planning to integrate many of the latest innovations in social media to create an environment that will bring us all closer together for the week.

One wonderful aspect of an online conference is that it all remains archived for reflection following the live events. You may click on the following links wants to view the archives for Cyberweek 2010, Cyberweek 2011, Cyberweek 2012, or Cyberweek 2013. We are looking forward to building on the success from the past three years of Cyberweek on the ADRHub and creating another vibrant environment that inspires the same energy and participation that has been consistent throughout all of the Cyberweek conferences thus far.

Please pass on this message to anyone who may be interested in proposing a learning experience, or participating in Cyberweek 2014. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact bryanhanson@creighton.edu.

Take care,

The Cyberweek Planning Committee
