ACE CONFERENCE

ACE 2024 - Milan

The ACE 2024 conference will take place in Milan at Bocconi University, on the 15th and 16th of November 2024. Please note that the conference will exceptionally take place on a Friday and Saturday. ​You can find the program here, including some practical information and hotel recommendations. 

​

This year's keynote will be given by Sir John Vickers on "Should Competition Monopolise Merger Policy?" The plenary sessions will focus on important antitrust topics such as digital regulation, antitrust and AI, and the role of economics in the antitrust process. Moreover, in line with ACE's tradition, we will have 12 parallel sessions on recent competition cases, with a mix of mergers, antitrust, state aid, and regulation (from the European Commission, different national competition authorities and national regulators).

FUTURE CONFERENCES

ACE is always looking for potential proposals to host its annual conference and aims to decide upon the venue at the annual conference at least one year in advance. Successful bids will need to demonstrate that they have suitable arrangements (including sponsorship) in place by then. Typically, ACE is hosted in universities and receives support from the economics departments, and/or local sponsors such as a competition authority.

​

If you would like to host the ACE conference in a future year, or if you have administrative questions, please contact the ACE Secretariat: conference@competitioneconomics.org
