Friendly Chats, Risky Business: Navigating the Information Exchange Minefield

March 4th, 2026 | 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM Eastern
Online (Zoom)

Join us for a discussion on the increasingly high-stakes world of information exchange under Canada’s newly amended competition laws. While industry collaborations can often drive innovation, allow for resource pooling and create new opportunities for participants and consumers, sharing the “wrong” data or running an exchange in the “wrong” way can trigger severe legal consequences. This session provides a practical roadmap for compliance, covering everything from algorithmic pricing risks to the latest guidance from the Competition Bureau.
