Welcome to the Lear Competition Festival (#LCF), where learning and networking opportunities converge to create a dynamic hub for the antitrust community. This three-day international event builds on the success of the Lear conferences and aims at emphasizing the crucial role of economics in competition policy, to help competition authorities and courts make better decisions. At the LCF, you will have the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge discussions with leading experts on emerging tools for competitive analysis and on the ever evolving challenges that antitrust practitioners face; to immerse yourself in in-depth dialogues on leading international cases; and to discover advanced academic contributions in the fields of competition law, economics and policy.
The GW Competition & Innovation Lab organizes the panel on "The Private Enforcement of the Digital Markets Act" on September 24th, 2025.
Our panel will explore the emerging role of private enforcement within the DMA framework, drawing on its conceptual and procedural parallels with competition law.
