Bidding to Host the Congress

ICCA Congresses have historically highlighted their host countries as safe seats for arbitration and stimulated the practice of international arbitration at the host venue. The bid to host the XXVIIth ICCA Congress was won by Club Español del Arbitraje (CEA) and the Congress will take place in Madrid. The bidding process for the XXVIIIth ICCA Congress was announced in October 2023. The successful bid will be selected at the 2024 ICCA Governing Board Meeting in Hong Kong.
