Singapore Convention Week 2024

The Singapore Convention Week (SC Week) has been a signature event in Singapore since 2019, focusing on dispute resolution, arbitration, mediation and litigation. It serves as a key platform for thought leaders, experts, practitioners and policy makers, to discuss emerging trends, address common issues, deliberate on new innovations, and drive change.

This year’s SC Week will be held from 26 August to 30 August 2024. Organised by the Singapore Ministry of Law (MinLaw) in partnership with various organisations, the week will feature a rich and exciting line-up of keynotes, panel discussions, debate, workshops, and networking events.

ASA is partnering with Singapore Convention Week to host an engaging event on international arbitration, organised by our ASA Asia Chapter!

Join us on Wednesday, 28 August, from 8:00 to 9:30 AM at WongPartnership for a thought-provoking panel discussion on effective advocacy in international arbitration.

1. Pleadings and written submissions
2. Discovery and evidentiary procedures
3. Oral advocacy and witness examination
4. Other cultural considerations
