• Keynote Speakers:
  • Manish Kumar, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, for Criminal Enforcement, United States Department of Justice, and 
  • Hetal Doshi, Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Litigation, United States Department of Justice

We are also excited to be introducing our inaugural class of New Lawyers Award recipients at the Celebration Event the evening before GSI on October 25, 2023, at Harborview Restaurant & Bar in San Francisco.

Finally, we also look forward to thanking our more than 150 volunteers who contributed last year to the success of the Antitrust & UCL Section at the Celebration Event. Our volunteers are the lifeblood of the Section. Please join us in bringing together all our volunteers and thanking them for contributing to or serving the Section. Their commitment makes a difference.
