24th ITA-ASIL-ICSID Joint Conference

The 24th ITA-ASIL-ICSID Joint Conference is an annual event co-hosted by the Institute for Transnational Arbitration (ITA) Academic Council, the American Society of International Law (ASIL), and, from 2026, the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). Scheduled for April 19, 2027, in Washington, D.C., this conference is renowned for its scholarly approach to international arbitration and investment law.

While specific details for the 2027 conference are forthcoming, previous editions have delved into critical topics such as the negotiation, recalibration, and termination of investment treaties. Panels have featured leading counsel, government negotiators, academics, and key personnel from international organizations, exploring the evolving landscape of investment treaty practice and the political economy behind treaty exit and redesign.

The conference typically offers networking opportunities, including a luncheon, and features notable speakers from academia and practice. For instance, the 23rd conference included a conversation with Professor Gabrielle Jeanne Kaufmann-Kohler, providing insights into the evolution of modern international arbitration.

This conference is ideal for professionals and scholars interested in the latest developments in international arbitration and investment law, offering a platform to engage with experts and peers in the field.
