The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators Nigeria successfully concluded its landmark 2025 Brand Annual Conference and Gala Night, powered by cutting-edge technology from digital lifestyle enabler T2. The three-day event, held from November 12-14, 2025 at The Jewel Aieda in Lekki, Lagos, brought together Nigeria's foremost legal, business, and technology experts to shape the future of dispute resolution.
Seamless Connectivity Drives Continental Collaboration
As the Exclusive Technology Partner, T2 delivered robust high-speed internet and comprehensive hybrid infrastructure that enabled real-time participation from professionals across Africa. The company's technical support team ensured flawless execution of live-streamed panels and interactive discussions, connecting physical attendees in Lagos with virtual participants throughout the continent.
The conference theme "Connecting the Dots: Core Principles, Innovation, and Meaningful Outcomes in ADR" came to life through T2's reliable connectivity solutions. Beyond providing mere bandwidth, the technology partner facilitated meaningful connections between people, industries, and innovative concepts that will define the future of Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution in Africa.
Translating Complexity into Actionable Insights
A standout moment featured Ifeloju Alakija, Senior Vice President of Corporate Services at T2, who addressed a critical question facing legal professionals: justifying arbitration costs to corporate boards. His practical approach emphasized converting complex legal terminology into clear, risk-based outcomes that business leaders can readily understand.
"Translate complexity into clarity—condense legal jargon into risk-based outcomes. Use visuals, use dashboards. Don't overwhelm them, show them what it means for the business," Alakija advised during the panel session. This philosophy mirrors T2's broader mission of using technology to transform complicated information into actionable business intelligence.
Key Takeaways for Africa's ADR Future
The conference yielded three significant insights that highlight technology's growing role in legal processes:
- Technology Enables Inclusion: Hybrid conference formats break down geographical barriers, making professional development accessible to practitioners across Africa

For T2, the partnership with CIArb Nigeria represented more than just providing technical infrastructure.
