Bangkok, Thailand | 2-4 September 2026
The Brunei Darussalam Arbitration Centre (BDAC) participated in the Thailand ADR Conference 2026, held from 2 to 4 September 2026 at the Pullman Bangkok King Power Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand. The conference, organised by the Thailand Arbitration Center (THAC), brought together distinguished legal professionals, arbitrators, mediators, policymakers, academics, and representatives from leading dispute resolution institutions across the region and beyond.
Held under the theme "OECD Readiness Through Predictable Justice: The Strategic Role of ADR", the conference provided an important platform for exchanging knowledge, sharing professional experiences, and exploring the evolving role of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in promoting legal certainty, effective dispute resolution, and sustainable economic development.
BDAC's participation reflects its continued commitment to strengthening regional and international cooperation in arbitration, mediation, and other alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. The conference provided valuable opportunities to gain insights into emerging developments, international best practices, and innovative approaches adopted by dispute resolution institutions across different jurisdictions.
Throughout the conference, discussions highlighted the importance of developing efficient, accessible, and predictable dispute resolution frameworks to support commercial activities, cross-border transactions, and investor confidence. Particular emphasis was placed on the strategic role of ADR in strengthening the rule of law, enhancing institutional effectiveness, and contributing to a stable and reliable legal environment.
The conference also underscored the importance of international collaboration in addressing the increasing complexity of commercial disputes. Through knowledge sharing and professional engagement, participating institutions were able to exchange perspectives on strengthening arbitration and mediation practices, improving dispute resolution procedures, and encouraging the wider adoption of ADR mechanisms.
In addition to providing a platform for professional development, the conference presented valuable networking opportunities for BDAC to engage with representatives from established arbitration and mediation institutions. Such interactions contribute towards fostering stronger professional relationships, encouraging institutional cooperation, and identifying potential areas for future collaboration, particularly in capacity building, training, and the promotion of ADR services.
BDAC recognises that active participation in international conferences and professional forums is essential to maintaining awareness of global developments and strengthening institutional capabilities. Engagements of this nature support the Centre's efforts to continuously enhance its services while contributing to the development of a credible, effective, and internationally recognised dispute resolution environment in Brunei Darussalam.
The knowledge and perspectives gained from the Thailand ADR Conference 2026 are expected to further support BDAC's ongoing initiatives to promote awareness, understanding, and the utilisation of arbitration and mediation as practical alternatives to conventional litigation.
Furthermore, BDAC's participation demonstrates its dedication to strengthening Brunei Darussalam's engagement with the wider regional and international ADR community. By maintaining professional connections and participating in discussions on emerging legal and commercial developments, BDAC continues to contribute towards the advancement of dispute resolution practices and the promotion of international cooperation.
BDAC remains committed to advancing the development and promotion of Alternative Dispute Resolution in Brunei Darussalam, while strengthening its relationships with regional and international partners. Its participation in the Thailand ADR Conference 2026 represents another positive step towards supporting professional excellence, institutional development, and greater awareness of effective dispute resolution mechanisms.
Through continued international engagement, knowledge exchange, and collaborative initiatives, BDAC looks forward to contributing further towards the growth and advancement of arbitration, mediation, and other ADR practices in Brunei Darussalam and the wider international community.
