Who are we?
New York State Bar Association and the International Section
The New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) is the largest voluntary state bar organization in the United States.

The International Section brings members together to learn from one another, advocate for the rule of law, and contribute to the development of a truly international legal community.
What is the Global Conference?
Each year, NYSBA’s International Section hosts a conference in a different city outside of the United States to provide American and foreign colleagues the opportunity to meet, network, and expand their international practices. Our most recent conferences have been held in Mexico City, London, New York City, Tokyo, Montréal, Antigua, Guatemala, Paris, São Paulo, Vienna, Hanoi, Lisbon, Panama, Sydney, and the list goes on!
This year, the conference will consist of three days of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) panels and plenaries, including, various hot topics in international law. The meeting also offers networking opportunities in the form of extended breaks, luncheons, receptions, dinners, including our traditional gala dinner, and social and cultural events.
