VIAC x ADRVN: VAS Crossover 2026 – A Series of Talk shows on Specialised Arbitration

Vietnam International Arbitration Centre (VIAC) in collaboration with ADR Vietnam Chambers (ADRVN) will co-organize the VIAC’s Arbitration Series – VAS Crossover 2026, a series of talk shows on specialised arbitration.

INTRODUCTION

As commercial transactions become increasingly complex, cross-border and sector-specific, arbitration is expected to respond not only as a dispute resolution mechanism, but also as a practical framework capable of addressing the evolving legal, technical and commercial realities of modern disputes. This requires arbitration users and practitioners to develop a more specialised, practice-oriented and interdisciplinary understanding of dispute resolution. In this context, Vietnam International Arbitration Centre (VIAC) and ADR Vietnam Chambers (ADRVN) will co-organize the VIAC’s Arbitration Series – VAS Crossover 2026, a series of talk shows on specialised arbitration. The series aims to create a focused platform for arbitrators, arbitration practitioners, in-house counsel, business representatives and academics to exchange insights on recent legal developments, sector-specific dispute risks, procedural innovations and practical approaches to dispute resolution.

Through a series of thematic sessions, VAS Crossover 2026 will examine key areas of specialised arbitration, including international trade (CISG), construction, M&A, finance, and maritime law. The programme will also introduce relevant updates in Vietnam’s arbitration lanscape, including the VIAC Rules of Arbitration 2026, while connecting domestic practice with regional and international perspectives. Ultimately, VAS Crossover 2026 seeks to foster a more informed, practice-oriented, and connected arbitration community in Vietnam.

By bringing together experienced practitioners, institutional representatives, academics and young professionals, VAS Crossover 2026 seeks to contribute to the development of a more informed, practice-oriented and connected arbitration community in Vietnam. The series is expected to support not only the enhancement of professional capacity among arbitration users and practitioners, but also the broader promotion of arbitration and ADR as effective tools for resolving modern commercial disputes.
