Conflict Resolution Day is an international day set aside to promote and honor the work of conflict resolution. This year, Hamline University School of Law, the Jerusalem Program, and Conflict Resolution Minnesota—Minnesota’s primary organization for alternative dispute resolution professionals and the local chapter of the Association for Conflict Resolution—are jointly sponsoring this event focusing on the dynamic nature of international conflict resolution and the methods, approaches, and tools used to manage the chaotic reality in which we live.

The keynote speaker for the event, Michael Tsur, is an expert in negotiation, conflict resolution, crisis management, and mediation. He specializes in executive coaching of general managers, general directors, and owners of companies in Israel and around the globe.

Tsur is also the founder and general-director of the Mediation & Conflict Resolution Institute-Jerusalem. He has garnered years of expertise in resolving emergency situations, ranging from hostage crises to breakdowns in cross-national business negotiations to stand-offs with individuals who are mentally unstable.
