Thank you for your patience as we navigate through COVID restrictions and the Delta/Omicron variant. We have decided to move forward with the Fifth Annual “Celebrating Women in Competition Law in California” event on March 10, 2022.

Having this event in person (as opposed to virtual) is critical to the core principle of the event: to provide an opportunity for female antitrust practitioners and those who support them to be together in the same room to share experiences, stories and make connections. We’ll see you in San Francisco!
