What is the ICCA Congress?

 An ICCA Congress is held every second year for the presentation and discussion of papers on different aspects of international dispute resolution. These meetings attract a large number of participants from all parts of the world and have made significant contributions to the development of dispute resolution theory and practice.

 The first ICCA Congress took place in Paris in 1961. Edinburgh is delighted to host the ICCA Congress in 2022 where over 1,000 delegates will be in attendance.
