Lagos will once again take centre stage in Africa’s dispute resolution landscape, as the 10th ICC Africa Conference on International Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) returns to Nigeria for a two-day gathering of global arbitration experts, business leaders and legal professionals.
The Conference, organised by the ICC International Court of Arbitration in collaboration with ICC Nigeria themed “A Decade of Excellence: Shaping the Future of International Arbitration & ADR in Africa”, is scheduled to hold from June 3 to 5, 2026 at the Lagos Continental Hotel. Discussions are expected to focus on strengthening dispute resolution systems across the continent. Speaking ahead of the Conference, ICC Nigeria described the event as an important platform for strengthening arbitration practice across Africa, while promoting investor confidence and efficient dispute resolution mechanisms essential for economic growth and international business transactions.
Activities will commence on June 3 with an advanced training session on drafting enforceable arbitral awards, hosted by the ICC Institute of World Business Law. The training is expected to provide participants with practical insights into the technicalities of preparing enforceable arbitration awards.
