About the Series
"The Digital Services Act Week" took place virtually between 30 June and 3 July, 2020 after being postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Replays of the series' discussions are available on the event website.
Throughout the week, Forum Europe facilitated virtual discussions on topics including new ex-ante competition regulation, platform liability and regulatory insight, E-Commerce and liability exemptions, and harmful content such as fake news and misinformation.
The concluding session also saw a keynote speech from Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice President of the European Commission.
The week held some extremely interesting discussions, and you can download the post-event report here.

- Hosted 717 delegates on our new Forum Vision virtual event platform;
