The Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department announced that they plan to hold two additional workshops to facilitate public dialogue on the 2023 Draft Merger Guidelines that the agencies announced in July. Like the agencies’ first workshop on September 5, these events will promote a detailed discussion about the draft guidelines to complement the thousands of public comments submitted to the agencies. Each of the two remaining workshops will be held in-person at an academic institution.
The second workshop, co-hosted with the MIT Economics Department and the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government, Harvard Kennedy School, will take place at the Harvard Kennedy School on October 5 from 1:30 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. ET. Participants that register will receive a link to view the event virtually. More information, including a tentative agenda for the workshop, can be found on the event page.
The third workshop, co-hosted with the University of Chicago Law School, Coase Sandor Institute for Law and Economics, will take place on November 3 from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. CT. More information about the workshop, including an agenda, will be made available on the FTC’s website in the coming weeks.
The FTC and the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division are reviewing comments from the public on the Draft Guidelines, submitted online during the comment period, at www.regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2023-0043.
