Conferences Overview

Conferences fulfil one of the IBA's most important objectives - the promotion of useful contacts and interchange between lawyers throughout the world - as well as providing a forum for the dissemination of specialist information on all areas of the law.

The IBA stages around 30 Conferences each year in major cities throughout the world. Conferences are open to both IBA members and non-members, with discounted rates offered for early registration and IBA members.

Attendance at IBA Conferences is a great way to meet your Continuing Professional Development requirements. All IBA Conferences carry CPD/CLE accreditation - please see individual Conference programmes for details.
