Event Overview

Join us on March 23rd, 2026, in Washington, D.C. for the Washington Forum on Antitrust and Digital Markets, part of the global Competition Compass Series on antitrust and competition policy. This inaugural forum will convene senior policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, and expert commentators to debate how competition frameworks must adapt to rapid technological advances and intensifying geopolitical pressures.

At a moment when the U.S., and indeed the globe, grapple with both enduring and emerging themes in antitrust, the Forum will address pressing issues across digital markets. Sessions will spotlight the dominance of Big Tech and its geopolitical implications, while also examining the disruptive impact of generative AI on intellectual property, innovation, consolidation trends, and vertical integration. With perspectives from across key jurisdictions, panellists will also assess the role of global partnerships and explore how regulatory approaches diverge, or converge,  in shaping the future of competition policy worldwide.

Why you should attend?

Policymakers

Example: National Government, Diplomatic Missions
This forum offers policymakers a unique opportunity to shape the future of competition frameworks in the face of Big Tech dominance, rapid AI innovation, and shifting geopolitical pressures. By engaging with international counterparts, they can compare approaches, align strategies where possible, and gain critical insights into how global trends will influence enforcement priorities.

Industry Organizations

Example: Big tech, tech firms, banks, law firms
For industry leaders, the forum is a chance to anticipate regulatory developments that could redefine digital markets and business models. Direct engagement with decision-makers allows them to influence the debate, while also positioning their organisations as responsible innovators committed to fair and competitive markets.

Experts

Example: Academia, Think Tanks, NGOs
Experts bring independent perspectives and evidence-based analysis that enrich the policy conversation. By sharing their research and advocacy, they can amplify their influence with global regulators and industry leaders, while building cross-border networks that shape the long-term future of competition and innovation.
