The international community of antitrust scholars will come together at Chicago from 26-28 June 2025. The Loyola University hosts the 20th Annual Conference of ASCOLA, the Academic Society for Competition Law, at the Institute for Consumer Antitrust Studies with Professor Spencer Weber Waller as the local host. Over three days, the members of ASCOLA will discuss current research in competition matters with 68 talks and several plenary panels. Topics range from AI and competition to vertical mergers, from cartel governance to judicial oversight. “We will see the whole spectre of ideas, theories, and cases in antitrust”, says Rupprecht Podszun, the ASCOLA President, “and what is more: Speakers will come from all parts of the world. ASCOLA is the place to showcase your research in competition law and economics!” Plenary panels will inter alia deal with competition in labor markets and “antitrust and pop culture”.
