The Singapore Convention Week 2025, organised by the Ministry of Law, is set to return from 25 to 29 August with an invigorated programme. Building on the success of last year’s event, which attracted over 5,600 participants globally, this year’s edition promises an expanded roster of partners and events, solidifying its status as a pivotal gathering for international dispute resolution experts.
This year’s programme features more than 50 partner organisations, including new collaborators such as the Japan Ministry of Justice, the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration, and the Silicon Valley Arbitration & Mediation Centre. These partnerships highlight the event’s commitment to fostering a global dialogue on dispute resolution.
Participants can anticipate a dynamic week filled with conferences, workshops, and networking opportunities. Key highlights include the “Breaking with Convention” networking event at the historic CHIJMES, organised by the Ministry of Law, and the SIAC Symposium 2025 by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre. The symposium will feature a keynote speech by Edwin Tong, Minister for Law and Second Minister for Home Affairs, alongside discussions on innovation and ethics in international arbitration.
Other notable events include “Mediating Amidst Global Fractures” by the Singapore International Mediation Centre, which will explore mediation’s role in a multi-polar world, and “Building Bridges in ADR: MENA Meets Singapore” by the Singapore International Dispute Resolution Academy, focusing on alternative dispute resolution in the Middle East and North Africa.
Edwin Tong expressed gratitude for the continued support from the global legal and business community, emphasising the event’s role as a platform for dialogue and collaboration in shaping the future of international dispute resolution.
