[alti-amsterdam] New ALTI Talk (on Tech Monopolies)

[Amsterdam Law And Technology Institute]

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce our upcoming ALTI talk (part of our “Law & Technology & Economics” seminar series) on June 3 from 12:00 to 13:00: https://alti.amsterdam/event/herbert-hovenkamp/

Our guest is Herb Hovenkamp, is the James G. Dinan University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and the Wharton School. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 2008 won the Justice Department’s John Sherman Award for his lifetime contributions to antitrust law. He is the most cited-living competition law scholar in the world.

Description: In an era defined by the dominance of tech giants such as Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft, questions surrounding market power, consumer harm, and regulatory intervention are more urgent than ever. Join us for a timely and thought-provoking conversation with Herbert Hovenkamp, one of the world’s leading antitrust scholars, as he presents insights from his new book, Tech Monopoly. In this talk, Professor Hovenkamp will explore how antitrust law grapples with the complexities of digital markets, ranging from software and search engines to online retail and hardware. He will examine how features like two-sided markets, data aggregation, and platform effects challenge traditional competition analysis and enforcement. From foundational legal principles to pressing policy debates (such as whether Big Tech firms should be broken up and what remedies might actually benefit users) this event offers a clear and accessible entry point into one of today’s most contentious economic issues. Whether you are a legal scholar, economist, policymaker, a practitioner, or simply interested in the intersection of law and technology, this discussion will provide valuable tools for understanding and evaluating the current state of antitrust law in the digital age.

Registration is free,<https://alti.amsterdam/event/herbert-hovenkamp/> as always.

All the best,
Thibault Schrepel, on behalf of the ALTI board
