Symposium on Competition and Procurement
March 12 & 14, 2013
GW's Government Procurement Law Program is hosting a symposium focusing on the intersection of competition policy and procurement law. The event features two keynote addresses as well as panels, chaired by Professors William E. Kovacic, Steven L. Schooner, and Christopher R. Yukins, that explore the way competition and anti-trust concerns play out in the procurement arena.
