SUMMARY:Competition Policy in Practice Conference
DESCRIPTION:We were pleased to organize a conference in Buenos Aires for an in-depth conversation on the evolving landscape of competition policy in Argentina and Latin America. The event featured two dynamic sessions: the first examined how institutional architecture\, independence\, and resources determine the effectiveness of competition authorities\, drawing lessons from regional experiences; the second dove into the intersection of data\, artificial intelligence\, and competition\, exploring how algorithmic collusion\, digital ecosystems\, and fast-paced innovation are reshaping the way competition is enforced. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Agenda\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\nTime\nSession\n\n\n\n\n9:00 AM\nRegistration\n\n\n9:10 AM\nWelcoming Remarks Lucía Quesada – Professor of Economics\, Universidad de San Andrés\n\n\n9:15 AM\n\nPanel 1 – Institutional Design: Building Effective Competition Authorities \nKeynote: Felipe Irarrázabal – Former Head\, FNE (Chile) \nModerator: Mariana Camacho – Leader of Hispanic America Initiative at GW Lab\, Partner at La Firma \nPanelists: Federico Volujewicz\, Partner at De Dios Goyena Abogados Esteban Greco – Games Economics Ariel Irízar – Associate\, Marval O’Farrell Mairal Alejandra Palacios – Former Chair\, COFECE Felipe Irarrázabal- Former Head\, FNE \n\n\n\n11:00 AM\nCoffee Break\n\n\n11:15 AM\n\nPanel 2 – Data\, AI\, and Market Power: Rethinking Competition Enforcement \n\n\n\n\nKeynote speaker (11:15 – 11:35): Santiago del Río – Partner\, Marval O’Farrell Mairal \nModerator: Pablo Florian – AlixPartners and GW Lab  \nPanelists: Fernanda Viecens\, PhD – Games Economics (Argentina) Federico Rossi – Partner\, Allende y Brea (Argentina) Francisca Levin – Partner\, Cuatrecasas (Chile) Marcel Celani- Universidad Torcuato Di Tella (Argentina) Álvaro Espinosa- Head of Antitrust LATAM at Mercado Libre

SUMMARY:Next-Generation Regulation: Competition Law in the Digital\, Intelligent\, & Sustainable Economy
DESCRIPTION:In an era defined by digital transformation\, environmental urgency\, innovation and artificial intelligence\, competition law faces unprecedented challenges. This one-day international conference\, co-organized by the GW Competition & Innovation Lab and the Bogazici University Innovation and Competition Based Development Studies Research Center\, brought together academics\, practitioners\, regulators\, and private sector representatives to explore how competition policy must adapt to safeguard innovation\, sustainability\, and market fairness. Sessions focused on digital markets\, AI enforcement\, and green cooperation\, and they drew from recent decisions by the TCA\, EC and global regulatory developments.
