HISTORICAL CONGRESSES

Previous ICCA Congresses

ICCA’s biennial congresses, which date back to 1961, attract a large number of participants from across the globe and have made significant contributions to the development of dispute resolution theory and practice. Renowned for stimulating in-depth discussion and providing new insights on matters related to international arbitration, the ICCA Congress is the largest regular conference devoted to international arbitration and caters to both practitioners looking to build a practice in international arbitration and experts in the arbitration community.
