About IAC EAW26

IAC Eurasia Arbitration Week (EAW) connects the Eurasia and global arbitration and dispute resolution communities. It is a platform for leading arbitrators, private practice lawyers, in-house counsel, policymakers and academics to discuss modern arbitration and dispute resolution practices, opportunities, challenges, and solutions for business in Eurasia. Through a series of engaging discussions and expert panels, EAW aims to promote arbitration, ADR and the rule of law, and protect investor rights with independent, trusted and cost-effective dispute resolution.


IAC EAW26 is the fourth annual Eurasia arbitration event to be held at the International Arbitration Centre (IAC). Last year, more than 400 participants attended EAW25 from the US, UK, Eurasia, Europe, and Asia.
