The U.S. CLE provider Strafford is hosting what I think looks like quite an interesting upcoming associations and information exchange related webinar entitled: Antitrust Risks of Association-Sponsored Market Research. “Information exchanges” (via surveys, member interaction, meetings, conventions, social media, other online fora, etc.) are of course a common and ubiquitous activity for most trade and professional associations, both in Canada and internationally.

As I said in some earlier posts, I had taken a bit of a summer hiatus from my blogs for a few weeks. Given that summer is edging away alas, I am beginning to focus again on Canadian and international competition law developments, events and new competition, advertising and regulatory law developments. To begin to kick off the (upcoming) fall developments, this new Canada/China trade initiative being launched by UBC caught my eye today:
