International Dispute Resolution in Sport 2026

The International Dispute Resolution in Sport Conference brings together leading practitioners, arbitrators, mediators, and professionals to share best practices, and to discuss and debate the latest developments in the growing and increasingly complex field of dispute resolution in sport.

This prestigious event not only brings together key figures from the worlds of law, business, and international sport but also serves as the host of the 2026 Grand Finals of the Sports Law Arbitration Moot (SLAM), taking place at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

As a token of our gratitude, we are delighted to offer complimentary tickets to the judges and advocates who have supported SLAM.

The conference agenda and speaker lineup will be announced shorty.
