Invitation for the 12th China Arbitration Week in 2024

Dear colleagues in the arbitration community,

The 12th China Arbitration Week will be held globally from 23 September to 29 September, 2024. To further expand the influence of the China Arbitration Week, promote arbitration legal services, share the story of China’s arbitration, and raise the credibility of arbitration, we sincerely invite you to jointly host arbitration-related events during this China Arbitration Week.

Initiated by CIETAC and in collaboration with Renmin University of China, All China Lawyers Association (ACLA) and Beijing Lawyers Association, the China Arbitration Week is a platform focusing on arbitration and other means of dispute resolution. China Banking Association (CBA), China Real Estate Association (CREA), Insurance Association of China (IAC), and Legal Daily are also members of the Organizing Committee of the China Arbitration Week.

The events of China Arbitration Week are held in September each year in dozens of cities in and out of China. The previous eleven editions of the China Arbitration Week received wide recognition and active participation globally: The Supreme People's Court of PRC, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), the International Council for Commercial Arbitration (ICCA), the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Dispute(ICSID), arbitration institutions from home and abroad, local CCPIT branches, provincial and municipal lawyers’ associations, renowned domestic universities, law firms, companies, chambers of commerce, and academic societies have participated in China Arbitration Week as organizers, co-organizers, or in various other forms to jointly build and share the China Arbitration Week platform. Specially, many famous international arbitration institutions, such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) International Court of Arbitration, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) of American Arbitration Association (AAA), the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC), the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC), the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) Arbitration Institute, the German Arbitration Institute (DIS), had organized events in or sent delegates to the China Arbitration Week. Over the past eleven years, China Arbitration Week events were held in more than 50 cities, with millions of participants both online and onsite, gradually becoming one of the most influential events in international arbitration circles.

This year's China Arbitration Week continues the hybrid format with online and onsite events. We will assist in the promotion of the events through CIETAC’s promotional channels on WeChat, Weibo, the official website of China Arbitration Week, Legal Daily's website, etc. The organizers of events will be listed on the official publication of China Arbitration Week. Registration for the China Arbitration Week activities is free of charge.
