Gainesville,

February

The University of Florida Levin College
of Law is pleased to host the 18th Annual International Conference on Contracts
(KCON XVIII) Thursday, February 19, through Saturday, February 21, 2026. KCON
is the largest annual international academic conference dedicated to contract
law and related areas of commercial law. It brings together contract law scholars,
expert practitioners, and aspiring academics from around the world.
KCON strives to be an open community for
supporting and enriching scholarship. It welcomes presentations on projects at
every level of development, including recently published articles, drafts,
works-in-progress, preliminary ideas, and thought experiments. It provides an
unparalleled opportunity to engage with colleagues and potential collaborators
and mentors in the field. Junior scholars are especially encouraged to
participate.
Call for Proposals for Presentations
We invite submissions on any aspect of
contract law, related areas of commercial law, and contract/commercial law
pedagogy. Presentations at past conferences have drawn from a variety of
methodologies and perspectives, including doctrinal, theoretical, empirical,
historical, economic, critical, international/comparative, and
interdisciplinary. Projects comparing common law and civil law treatment of
contract issues are welcome. Those that focus on a single civil law
jurisdiction should be put in a wider context.
Please submit your proposal for
presentation in the form of an abstract and title not exceeding 500 words
to conferences@law.ufl.edu.
The deadline to submit is Monday,
December 15, 2025. Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis. Those
whose proposals are accepted will be expected to present their work in person.
All attendees, including speakers, must register to attend. The registration
fee is $250, which includes entry to at all conference sessions and meals.

Gainesville is most easily accessed by
Interstate 75 in north Florida. The host site address is 309 Village Drive,
