The 2025 conference, themed "Australia in a Changing Global Economic Order," will address the evolving global economic landscape influenced by post-COVID realities, the diminished role of the World Trade Organization, and the rise of industrial policies emphasizing foreign investment.

The one-and-a-half-day event will feature panel discussions, keynote speeches, and networking opportunities, bringing together researchers, policymakers, and business leaders to explore policy and regulatory responses to current global economic challenges. Attendees can expect in-depth analyses and collaborative discussions aimed at stabilizing and modernizing the global economic order for long-term security and prosperity.
This conference is ideal for legal professionals, academics, policymakers, and business leaders interested in international economic law and its implications for Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
