Why Europe is the leader in regulation and what it means for Silicon Valley.
 
Code Conference 2020
 
 
 

Hi,

She’s been called “the world’s most famous (or infamous) regulator” and “Silicon Valley’s tormenter-in-chief” and has been depicted as a medieval warrior queen. President Trump calls her the European Union’s “tax lady.”

Margrethe Vestager is taking on tech monopolies, one multibillion-dollar fine at a time.

As the US spins its wheels on regulation, the formidable Danish politician has fined Big Tech to the tune of billions for tax avoidance, anti-competitive behavior, and more.

And now, in addition to serving an unprecedented second term as the European commissioner for competition, she has a new role to contend with: overseeing the EU’s digital policy.

We’ll ask her about her approach to regulating the tech sector and encouraging competition, her vision for Europe in the digital age, and which anti-competitive practices she thinks pose the greatest threat to innovation and consumer rights.

You can join us May 26-28 for that talk and many more at Code’s new location: The Beverly Hilton and Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills, California.
