What our delegates say about GCR Live

GCR Live: Global Merger Control is one of the premium merger control focused conferences in Brussels, with a very wide range of contemporary topics of merger control discussed among a diverse set of participants and speakers. I find great added value in it, as I learn a great deal through this conference.

ELIG Gürkaynak

A timely event addressing the relevant merger control related issues of today. I enjoyed the inspiring debate on how to call-in and adequately scrutinize killer acquisitions as well as on the 'new' EU Merger Policy.
