The New Zealand Commerce Commission hosted the 21st annual ICN Cartel Workshop in Auckland in December 2022. 

The focus of the workshop was about how to respond to a changing world when undertaking cartel enforcement focussing on the post COVID world and the impact of developing technologies. There was a great turnout with 167 people attending in person and over 200 on line including representatives from 54 countries. The workshop was an opportunity for agencies to share their experiences around the detection, investigation and enforcement of cartels. 

There were over 60 speakers who spoke on topics including leniency programme improvements, alternative ways of detecting, how to interview effectively and what the future holds for us as cartel enforcers.
