    The International Bar Association (IBA) has selected Abu Dhabi to be the host city for the 27th Annual IBA Arbitration Day Conference from 28 - 29 January 2026.

    Recognised as a flagship event in the global arbitration calendar, the IBA Arbitration Day convenes renowned arbitration experts, leading legal practitioners, and key industry stakeholders from around the world to engage in high-level dialogue designed to shape the future of international dispute resolution.

    Bringing the event to Abu Dhabi reflects the growing prominence of the UAE capital and ADGM as a global hub for arbitration. With a progressive arbitration framework, cutting-edge infrastructure, state-of-the-art hearing facilities and a legal system founded on a direct application of English common law, ADGM is increasingly recognised as a trusted forum for resolving complex cross-border disputes. In addition, ADGM Courts enjoy a strong reputation as the supervisory court for ADGM-seated arbitrations and for the efficient and effective determination of high-stakes commercial and financial cases.

    Commenting on the upcoming conference, Linda Fitz-Alan, Registrar and Chief Executive of ADGM Courts in the financial centre of the UAE capital, said, “Hosting the IBA Arbitration Day in Abu Dhabi reflects the trust placed in Abu Dhabi as a leading hub for cross-border dispute resolution. We remain committed to advancing international arbitration and supporting the global legal community in any way we can, amid the increasing complexity of disputes.”

     

    The IBA’s Arbitration Committee leadership, Chiann Bao, Kate Brown de Vejar and Dietmar Prager said, “We are excited to take the IBA Arbitration Day to the MENA Region, and to Abu Dhabi in particular, one of the world’s most vibrant financial and business hubs.”

     

    The 2026 IBA Arbitration Day Conference will feature future-focused panel discussions, high-level networking opportunities, and insights into the key trends shaping the international arbitration landscape.
