About ICON-S and its Annual Conference:

The Society was officially launched at an Inaugural Conference that took place in Florence, Italy, on June 26-28, 2014. The European University Institute and NYU School of Law sponsored this important event. The Conference combined the best practices of the genre. There were plenary sessions with invited speakers, commentators and floor discussions on themes that define and reflect the scope of the new Society.

The successful format of the Inaugural Conference has been replicated in Annual meetings, held in New York (2015), Berlin (2016), Copenhagen (2017) and Hong Kong (2018). Such events promoted the growth of the Society—which counts over 1.000 active members—and the establishment of regional and national chapters.
