For years, ILSA has helped students to organize and finance international law conferences in cooperation with universities and other educational and professional organizations. Conferences consist of academic panel discussions related to timely issues of international law and information about international legal opportunities for students. Conferences provide students with excellent opportunities to network with international law practitioners, academics and other law students from around the world.

The ILSA International Conference is held each year at an institution outside of the United States. ILSA recognizes that its members live and study in countries all around the world, and its events should reflect the global scope of its membership. In August, ILSA asks schools with an ILSA Chapter to submit a bid to host the International Conference the following year. The winning Chapter is given financial and logistical support from the ILSA Executive Office to plan the event.
