The ultimate guide to European competition law: IBC Legal's 13th annual residential EU Competition Law Summer School, a unique training course and conference

IBC Legal Conferences' interactive 5-day residential summer school will provide you with a sophisticated guide to EU competition law and the essential practical tools you need to master legal complexities and avoid pitfalls in your everyday work.

The event begins with an introduction to the topic, with each issue being studied in more depth as the week progresses. In order to provide you with the most gainful learning experience we have assembled leading officials from the Commission, private practitioners, experts and economists who will share insights in a variety of formats.

The fully-residential design allows you to spend more time with the international delegates and speakers, helping you to further digest the day's learning, to make new contacts and to relax and enjoy your week. This year's event is inclusive of all meals plus these activities: quiz night, punting on the River Cam, barbeque, walking tour, drinks reception, gala dinner.
