b'\\u201cAntitrust and competition policy is exciting stuff,\\u201d said no one ever (except, of course, the very few who follow this arcane field of economics and algorithms). Yet in recent months on Capitol Hill competition policy buzzwords have started to be overheard in conversations outside of the traditional antitrust policy bastions such as the Antitrust subcommittees. Is all this \\u201cexcitement\\u201d around competition policy because folks are curious how the new Administration will approach mergers and market concentration? Or is it, as some have suggested, that because the Internet has profoundly changed how markets have traditionally operated, our antitrust policy must change as well?\\n\\nWe\\u2019ve assembled an expert group of panelists to discuss their perspectives on competition and antitrust.\\n\\nWhen: Friday, April 27, 2018 @ 12:00 PM \\u2013 1:00 PM EDT\\nWhere: Rayburn House Office Building Room 2237\\n\\nSPEAKERS\\n\\n\\u2013 Alexei\\xa0Alexis, Reporter, Bloomberg (Bio)\\n\\n\\u2013 Diana\\xa0Moss,\\xa0President of the American Antitrust Institute (Bio)\\n\\n\\u2013 Joshua\\xa0Wright, University Professor and Executive Director of the\\nGlobal Antitrust Institute, Scalia Law School (Bio)\\n\\n\\u2013 John\\xa0Bergmayer, Senior Counsel, Public Knowledge (Bio)\\n\\nFollow:\\xa0@NetCaucusAC\\xa0#AntitrustIC'
