Registration for the 2026 CCIL Annual Conference is now open.

The theme of this year’s conference is "Bend, Not Break: Resilience and Evolution of International Law".  The conference will test the extent to which the international legal order can adapt to new challenges without sacrificing its foundations.  It will gather subject-matter experts - including practitioners, scholars and government officials - to discuss the significant shifts at play, their impacts, and how those effects might be mitigated, exploited, or resisted.

We are pleased to welcome Keynote Speakers Olabisi D. Akinkugbe (Schulich School of Law, Dalhousie University and the Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa), Pierre-Marie Dupuy (Paris Panthéon-Assas University), Monica Hakimi (Columbia Law School), and Valerie Hughes (Former Director, WTO Legal Affairs Division and Appellate Body Secretariat).

The program will feature familiar highlights, including plenary sessions, engaging concurrent panels, and the popular Careers in International Law event for students and early-career lawyers.
