Antitrust in High-Tech Industries

The program focused on the proper role of antitrust in high technology industries, including the extent to which current competition policy is adequate to address dynamic competition concerns that are prevalent in rapidly evolving sectors. Specifically, panels explored the application of antitrust laws to social media, mergers, online search, and online advertising.
The Keynote Address was delivered by William Kovacic, former Chairman of the US Federal Trade Commission.
