Mastering Multiparty Mediation | July 23 & 24, 2026 | Zoom | Trainer: Kimberly Horndeski

Multiparty mediation isn’t just two-party mediation with more chairs. It demands a fundamentally different skill set: from process design to coalition management to settlement mechanics. This intensive training equips experienced mediators with the advanced frameworks, practical tools, and simulated experience needed to lead complex multiparty cases with confidence.
