Welcome to ICN 2022 Berlin

Dear ICN Members and NGAs,

Welcome to the 21st ICN Annual Conference in Berlin on 4 – 6 May 2022.

ICN is the most important network of competition authorities worldwide. It comprises 140 competition agencies from 130 jurisdictions and provides a forum for sharing experience and an informal venue for maintaining regular contact to address practical competition policy and enforcement issues.

The Annual Conference is one of the highlights and definitely the focal point of the ICN year. The global competition community comes together to discuss and set the course for the future of our network.

We remain optimistic and are looking forward to an in-person conference full of interesting and important plenary and breakout sessions. All plenary sessions will also be streamed live.

This year’s ICN Annual Conference will take place back to back with the 21st edition of the Bundeskartellamt’s famous Berlin Conference IKK – so we’ll celebrate two 21st Anniversaries in 2022.

See you in Berlin!

Andreas Mundt
President of the Bundeskartellamt and Chair of the ICN Steering Group
