From 3 to 5 June 2009 the participants of the International Competition Network will hold their Annual Conference for the 8th time. After Moscow and Kyoto, Zurich will be the host city in 2009. Thus the Swiss Competition Commission will be host for the approximately 600 international competition experts, international organizations and non-governmental advisors, including representatives of the legal, business, economic, consumer and academic communities.
The ICN was formed in 2001 as a project-oriented and consensus-based organization. Its membership includes nearly all the world's competition agencies. Non-governmental advisors with expertise and interest in competition matters work with ICN members to produce Recommended Practice proposals and substantive reports to promote convergence among the laws, processes and policies of different authorities. The Recommended Practices are non-binding but, once adopted by the ICN, form a baseline for sound antitrust enforcement throughout the world.
