CBA Competition Law Spring Conference May 19, 2016 Toronto

In my mind, the best panel will be the one on ANTITRUST RISKS OF "ROBO-SELLING" AND PRICING ALGORITHMS IN E-COMMERCE. Salil Mehra on that panel was the first to write about the topic (working paper in 2013 but article in 2015 in the Minnesota Law Review)

 

May 19, 2016 | Toronto Board of Trade | Toronto, ON

AGENDA

Transnational commerce presents opportunities and challenges for firms seeking to compete aggressively while complying with different national competition and foreign investment regimes. The same is true for regulatory authorities seeking to enforce competition and foreign investment laws in rapidly evolving industries spanning multiple jurisdictions.

Join us in Toronto on May 19 as we tackle these issues and more. With the help of leading experts, including the heads of all four competition agencies in North America, the CBA Competition Law Spring Conference will explore the international dimensions of a wide range of civil compliance issues, including:

• The Competition Tribunal's forthcoming abuse of dominance decision in the re-determination of the Toronto Real Estate Board case
• Latest trends and tips in securing international merger clearance, including both competition/antitrust and CFIUS/national security reviews
• Accounting for innovation in competitive impact analysis

Plus! We are delighted to announce a discussion-style Enforcers Panel with the following distinguished speakers:

• John Pecman, Commissioner of Competition, Canadian Competition Bureau
• Edith Ramirez, Chairwoman, U.S. Federal Trade Commission
• William J. Baer, Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division, U.S. Department of Justice
• Alejandra Palacios Prieto, Chair, Mexican Federal Economic Competition Commission
