Istanbul Arbitration Week (ISTAW), hosted by the Energy Disputes Arbitration Center (EDAC), is a prestigious international arbitration event comprising a series of sessions focused on international investment, trade, and arbitration.

Last year, ISTAW2023 witnessed a remarkable array of online, hybrid, and in-person events organized by our esteemed sponsors, allowing for maximum global participation. Here are some highlights from #ISTAW2023:

60 supporting organizations, including prominent arbitration centers, organizations, and initiatives such as ICSID, Arbitration Pledge, and ICC.
50 sponsors, including notable names.
25 sessions, keynote speakers, and over 1000 guests.
Now, the preparations for #ISTAW2024 are in full swing! This year, ISTAW2024 will be held from October 1-5, 2024, and we aim to host 1500 guests from around the world.

At ISTAW2024, we are expanding our horizons beyond investment and energy arbitration. This year, our sessions will also cover arbitration in mining, agriculture, and various other sectors, ensuring a comprehensive exploration of arbitration’s broadest dimensions. We aim to bring together arbitrators, lawyers, academics, and arbitration experts globally to ensure that ISTAW2024 is a truly global event in the arbitration community.

Last year, we demonstrated how legal professionals can enjoy themselves while working and networking, and we strive to set an even higher standard every year. So, stay tuned for #ISTAW2024!

The panels at ISTAW2024 will feature a dynamic format, fostering open discussions about the future of international arbitration. They will shed light on new arbitration techniques, focus on developments and evolving interpretations, and discuss best practices for international arbitration in the new virtual reality.

We look forward to seeing you at #ISTAW2024!
