European Competition Forum

What European Competition Forum does

The European Competition Forum is a conference and convening platform focused on European and transatlantic competition law and policy, operated by the Lithuanian non-profit public institution VšĮ "4Agileurope". Its flagship product is the annual Midsummer Meeting, a three-day, multi-track conference expected to draw 1,000+ delegates and 50+ speakers across more than 25 sessions, with a speaker faculty that includes sitting EU Commissioners, heads of national competition authorities such as the Bundeskartellamt (Germany), Autoriteit Consument & Markt (Netherlands), CNMC (Spain), Autorité de la concurrence (France), the Australian ACCC, and former leadership of the US Department of Justice Antitrust Division.

The forum's business model is event-driven B2B revenue composed of two main lines: tiered delegate ticket sales (priced from €90 for virtual access up to €655 for full in-person attendance), and corporate sponsorship from in-house counsel teams at major digital platforms and from competition law practices. The product is differentiated less by technology — there is little disclosed proprietary technology — than by curated access: each session is built around a specific regulator, economist, or practitioner, and attendance scales with the seniority of the speaker bench. Agenda tracks span core antitrust enforcement, digital markets regulation, sustainability-related competition policy, and transatlantic coordination, positioning the forum as a policy-neutral meeting point for regulators, in-house counsel, outside law firms, and academic economists.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• ASCOLA (Academic Society of Competition Law): Academic association holding annual and regional conferences on competition law. Overlaps with ECF's academic and policy-oriented programming and competes for the same academic advisory talent.
• Utrecht Centre for Competition Law (UCLL): University-based research center organizing competition-law conferences and workshops. Comparable as a smaller, academically anchored convener intersecting with ECF's academic advisory board.
• Lexxion Publisher: Legal publisher that organizes EU-law conferences and training programs, including in competition and regulatory areas. Comparable as a smaller-scale European convener targeting in-house and private-practice specialists.

Direct peers

• Global Competition Review (GCR Live): Runs a portfolio of GCR Live antitrust conferences and awards around the world targeting the same competition-law community. Closely comparable as a recurring-events competitor for senior practitioners and regulators.
• Fordham Competition Law Conference (Fordham Law): Long-running annual antitrust/competition conference convened by Fordham Law School in New York, drawing global regulators, academics, and practitioners. Comparable as a flagship yearly competition-policy gathering that competes for the same international speaker and attendee pool.
• Concurrences: Operates a leading global competition-law publishing and events platform with regular conferences, awards, and reviews. Directly comparable to ECF as it serves the same regulators, in-house counsel, academics, and private-practice antitrust audience and is the most established competitor in EU competition convening.

Broad incumbents

• British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL): London-based institute hosting competition-law events, workshops, and policy programs. Comparable to ECF as an established European convener for competition-policy discussion, though operating across multiple legal areas.
• Center for European Policy Studies (CEPS): Brussels-based think tank producing competition-policy research, forums, and events. Comparable to ECF as a Brussels convener for EU competition policy discussion, although operating across a wider policy portfolio.
• International Bar Association (Antitrust Section): Global legal membership organization running antitrust conferences and sessions that attract the same senior competition-law audience as ECF. Comparable as a competing convener, though with a broader international remit.
• American Bar Association Antitrust Section: Large, established professional organization hosting multiple antitrust conferences, programs, and publications. Overlaps with ECF in audience and topic coverage but operates at a broader scale and with a US-centric base.
