About the Event

The conference proceeds from the premise that the world’s dispute resolution infrastructure, courts, tribunals, and arbitral institutions, was designed for a pre-digital era and is now buckling under volume, cost, and distance. Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) is already resolving disputes at scale, from regulatory ODR portals to algorithmic disputes in the gig economy to cross-border commercial arbitration conducted entirely online.

ISAPG 2026 brings together the law, technology, policy, and peacebuilding communities, practitioners, academics, regulators, technologists, and students, to examine where ODR currently stands, where it is failing, and where it is headed next.

Eligibility

• All students duly enrolled in a bona fide undergraduate law programme (3-year or 5-year) or postgraduate law programme offered by any recognised college or university shall be eligible to participate in the conference.
