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.
