Join us in Ottawa on October 17-18 for the CBA Competition Law Fall Conference – Are You Ready for 2020? This is the leading Canadian event for competition law and policy professionals.
The conference brings together all segments of the competition law community, including Canadian and international enforcement officials, in-house counsel, plaintiffs’ lawyers, defense lawyers, economists and academics in order to share knowledge, experience and advice regarding all areas of competition law and policy, including mergers, unilateral conduct, cartel and class action proceedings and deceptive marketing practices.
Participants will benefit from thoughtful and practical insights from distinguished panels of Canadian and international competition law experts, and they will leave the conference with a sound understanding of current and emerging issues in the area of competition law and policy.
Canada Wants Competition - Call for Proposals!
Join us this year in our exclusive panel “Canada Wants Competition!”. In “America’s Got Talent!” style, four “policy entrepreneurs” will pitch their proposals for the improvements needed to ensure that Canada’s cartel, merger and unilateral conduct laws and enforcement are effective for the 2020s. Hear our distinguished judging panel weigh in with their assessments and recommendations, and vote for the “Canadian competition law priority for 2020”!
Do you have an idea for improving an important aspect of Canada’s competition regime – through changes to law, enforcement policies, institutions, resources or prioritization? The Competition Section Executive will consider any submissions received by Monday, August 19th.
Please send a brief summary of your proposed idea to Huy Do, Vice-Chair and Neil Campbell, Conference Organizer.
