The Global Antitrust Economics Conference

The Global Antitrust Economics Conference was a unique opportunity to keep up to date with some of the most topical antitrust issues. The level of expertise and knowledge of the panelists were excellent and there was a lot of camaraderie. An all round successful event.

The conference gathered excellent panels of speakers, many of whom were thoughtful participants in the intellectual development and the practical implementations of the ideas discussed and frequently debated. This created many instances during the day of inspirational moments with new thoughts in the air that made the entire experience more worthwhile than just the usual pleasant networking and catching up on current events since the conference was well-attended and skillfully organized.

I was a speaker on the telecom merger panel, but that meant I got to listen to the panels on sports, pharmaceuticals, and big tech. I learned a great deal from all of them—the variety of antitrust issues in sports, the institutional peculiarities affecting pharmaceutical competition, and the pressures on counsels for big tech operations. Hal Varian’s talk was refreshing and insightful, and I trust he will get a wider hearing as Google comes under more antitrust scrutiny in the US.

NYU Stern and Concurrences do a fantastic job of assembling thought leaders to address timely and thorny issues in antitrust economics—it is well worth the trip to New York City to be part of the discussion.

The Global Antitrust Economic Conference is an eye opener for those like myself who is not familiar with the law.

Very knowledgeable panelists and interesting diverse sessions covering currently relevant topics.

One of the most informative conferences that I have attended lately. Congratulations for a job well done. You guys are the best ! Keep up the great work !
