No city knows how to navigate stormy waters quite like Amsterdam—so why keep that talent at sea?

The International Business Mediation Competition (IBMC) brings together negotiation and mediation enthusiasts from all corners and currents of the world to sharpen their conflict resolution skills, exchange ideas, and learn from one another in a dynamic, real-world setting.

For students, IBMC offers a compact, high-quality, and accessible competition.

For professionals, it’s a unique chance to explore the latest developments in ADR, dive into focused topics, and connect with others in the field. And of course, it’s an excellent opportunity to grow your network.

In short, IBMC combines daily engagement, meaningful challenges, and plenty of opportunities to connect—whether you’re meeting new people or reuniting with familiar faces.

IBMC is facilitated by Centrum voor Conflicthantering and De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek.
