AF-DC: Antitrust and Its Impact on American Innovation

Join America’s Future DC and the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation (ITIF) for a timely conversation on how antitrust policy is shaping the future of American technology and innovation.

As voices across the ideological spectrum push policies that could slow innovation, this event will explore the real-world consequences of antitrust enforcement for the private-sector leaders building cutting-edge technologies. We’ll also discuss why these debates matter not just for the tech industry, but for the everyday lives of Americans.

What to Expect

This conversation will examine the growing role antitrust policy plays in the innovation economy, with a focus on how new regulatory approaches could affect competition, investment, entrepreneurship, and technological leadership in the United States.

From digital platforms to artificial intelligence and beyond, antitrust is no longer just a legal issue for specialists. It is increasingly central to broader debates about economic growth, national competitiveness, and the policies that will define America’s technological future.
