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 the competition authorities.
If you would like to host the ACE conference in a future year, please contact
arodrigues@concorrencia.pt
For administrative questions in connection with the annual conferences, please contact the ACE Secretariat: conference@competitioneconomics.org
On the 18th and 19th of November 2021, the ACE (Association of Competition Economics) conference will take place in Barcelona, hosted by Massimo Motta at the Barcelona School of Economics.
The conference will be a full in-person event.
The Keynote speech will be delivered by Jean Tirole.
The full programme will be made available soon.
