ABOUT THE SUMMIT

The anti-monopoly movement has swelled in prominence in recent years.
Build power with us.

Historic appointments at the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice Antitrust Division, and the White House, alongside bipartisan leadership in Congress and President Biden’s July 2021 Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the U.S. launched a successful all-of-government agenda to arrest corporate power.

This Summit will bring our growing movement together in a marquee one-day conference to build power and engage with senior policymakers from across the country. Join grocers, pharmacists, farmers, tech entrepreneurs, labor leaders, federal and state policymakers, and legal experts – our community – to meet, strategize, learn, and celebrate together.
