About the Open Day
The OECD Competition Open Day offers every year a unique opportunity to discuss cutting-edge topics recently addressed by the OECD Competition Committee.
It serves as a global platform for discussing emerging competition policy challenges, market dynamics, and enforcement issues across various sectors. The event features panel discussions, case studies and insights from leading experts and competition authorities, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange to promote fair and efficient markets globally. Participants also have rich networking opportunities, including a welcome breakfast and a reception.
Who can attend?
The event is free and open to the competition community and those interested in the work of the OECD on competition, including legal practitioners, government officials, economists, consultants, in-house counsel, regulators, academics, and the media.
Officials from competition authorities attending the Open Day in person also benefit from two workshops back-to-back with this event.
