The Global Co-Chairs’ Circle Conference (CCC) is the flagship international conference for under-40 arbitration practitioners, bringing together rising practitioners from across jurisdictions every two years for high-level discussion, skills development, and meaningful connections. In 2026, ASA below 40 is proud to host the 6th edition of CCC in Zurich, at the heart of Europe.
