HE 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS is behind us, but tough times are still ahead. Stressed by monetary constraints and an ever-changing world, the European Union must reorganize and provide economic guidance. With an aim : to foster a climate of better competitiveness being installed permanently.

While in most industries companies tend to become more compliant with antitrust regu-lations, unfair competitive conducts and new cartel cases are still hitting the headlines every week. Over-deterrent fines haven't put a halt to these practices.

Independent authorities are looking to strike the right balance for each case. Damages, for instance, are highly scrutinized. But many questions remain unanswered regarding antitrust, mergers, state aid. And also, how to keep pace with the rapidly evolving markets, such as web content and applications.

Aerospace, airlines, automotive, bank & finance, chemicals, consumer pro-ducts, e-commerce, energy, entertain-ment, high-tech, insurance, Internet, medias, luxury goods, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, railways, software, telecoms and utilities: all segments will share their practical experiences at the Competition Summit 2011, thanks to 70+ case studies broken down into 32 plenary sessions and workshops.

The largest business-focused European congress on antitrust and mergers returns for the second time, with 120+ speakers and 400 delegates on December 1 & 2, 2011 at the Radisson Blu Royal hotel. Brussels, capital of Europe, will once again host this major event you cannot miss.
