Rome, 24-27  September

The Lear Competition Festival (LCF) is a hub that brings together innovation, networking, and exciting opportunities for the antitrust community.

This four-day international event builds on the success of the Lear conferences and aims at emphasizing the crucial role of economics in competition policy, to aid competition authorities and courts in making better decisions.

At LCF, you will have the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge discussions with leading experts on emerging competition tools and challenges, immerse yourself in in-depth dialogues on international cases, and explore advanced academic contributions in the fields of competition law, economics, policy, and regulation.

Additionally, the Lear Competition Festival provides valuable opportunities for inspiring and addressing the aspirations of the next generation interested in pursuing professional or academic careers within the field of antitrust and regulation. It includes:

• the Young Talent Competition Award (#YTCA) an initiative that invites young economists and lawyers to submit their research proposals, which will be rigorously evaluated and selected by a distinguished commission before presenting them at the festival;
• the Poster Session, providing students and researchers a platform to showcase their research findings to our participants through the use of printed posters during the first day of the festival;

In addition to these academic offerings, the LCF offers various networking opportunities. Attendees can engage in fruitful interactions during the aperitif, the gala dinner, and the walking tours, fostering connections with other participants.
