Established in 2001, the OECD Global Forum on Competition brings together each year high-level officials from more than 110 competition authorities worldwide from both OECD and non-OECD economies. Joining with representatives of international organisations and invited experts, participants debate and discuss key topics on the global competition agenda. With a broad focus on development, the Forum promotes a wider dialogue that encompasses the linkages between competition policy and other cornerstones of economic development.

The Forum's opening session is often webcasted and open to all.

Participation to the other sessions is by invitation only and restricted to officials from competition authorities, government agencies and international/ regional organisations worldwide. Representatives of the business community and trade movements can contribute to the discussions through the Business and Advisory Committee to the OECD (BIAC), the Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC). The Global Forum also welcomes the participation of Consumers International each year, an important voice for consumers, particularly in developing countries.
