The society's principal activity was an annual conference, normally in Canberra or Wellington in turn, which grew into the main gathering for international law academics and practitioners in the region. Alongside it the previous site listed a research students' workshop, a biennial forum for early-career researchers run with three sister societies (American, Canadian and Japanese) since 2006, and workshops by its interest groups.
It also said it tried, funds permitting, to support extra events and activities organised by members, and published guidelines for requesting that support. None of that is available through this archive.
