INVITATIONOn behalf of the School of Law at the University of South Australia Business School and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission we would like to extend an invitation to you to participate in the 13th Annual Competition Law and Economics Workshop, to be held at the Crowne Plaza Adelaide from Friday 23 to Saturday 24 October this year.
The Workshop provides a unique opportunity to bring together competition law and the economic principles underlying competition policy. It connects key influencers and stakeholders both nationally and internationally.
The Workshop acts as a forum for discussion and networking, and this year the intersection of competition law and economics will be at the forefront of the Workshop’s agenda with a focus on international experiences and practical application to the ‘real world’.
We look forward to seeing you in Adelaide in October.
