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 XXVIth ICCA Congress was won by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) and the Congress will take place in Hong Kong. The bidding process for the XXVIIth ICCA Congress is currently underway. The successful bid will be selected at the 2021 ICCA Governing Board Meeting in Edinburgh. The bidding schedule for the XXVIIIth ICCA Congress will be announced in due course.
