We would like to cordially invite to you for Positive Competition’s 5^th Anniversary celebrations, which will take place on November 30^th in Brussels.

30 November, 2023

16:30 – 17:00  |  Registration and Coffee
17:00 – 19:00  |  Positive Workshop
19:00 – 23:30  |  Reception

We will start by inaugurating the Positive Workshop Series with our first workshop on “The competitive assessment of non-horizontal mergers in complex and dynamic environments – are the current tools fit for purpose?”

We will kick off the discussion with our short presentation identifying the key issues in the Google/DoubleClick saga and the diverging decisions of the Commission and the Competition and Markets Authority in Microsoft/Activision.

In line with our company’s motto, we will follow with a panel bridging enforcement, academia and practice, as well as law and economics:

Knowing that there will be many other experts in the room, we will encourage all our guests to participate in the discussion.

We will then enjoy a contemporary photo exhibition and organic wine tasting, as well as a delicious healthy dinner served by our long term partner BRUT.

Childcare on site

As some of our guests have mentioned childcare issues, we are delighted to let you know that we will be providing babysitting service with exciting activities for young children from toddler age upwards at the venue for the duration of the workshop and drinks. If you would like to bring your children along, please sending us an email by Monday November 27^th so that we can organise accordingly.

Arrival and parking

There is no parking at the venue itself, but parking is available on the streets in the neighbourhood. Please note that Place du Châtelain is currently undergoing major renovation works so car access is restricted from the North and East (see map below). However, car access up to the door of the venue is possible from the south side of the place du Châtelain and on foot from either side.
