Why it matters
For students and delegates interested in international law, this conference is a useful point of reference for following current conversations in the field and seeing how major professional gatherings are structured.
Because it is an in-person event in Vienna, attendees can also benefit from direct engagement with the conference environment and use the published programme to identify the sessions or themes most relevant to their interests.
How to prepare
Start by reviewing the published programme carefully and mapping out which sessions are most relevant to your academic or professional interests. Build a short background brief on the core areas of international law you expect to encounter so you can follow discussions more confidently.
If you plan to attend, prepare concise talking points about your own interests, coursework, or research. It can also help to refresh your understanding of major international legal institutions, treaties, and contemporary legal debates so you can make the most of in-person conversations.
