WELCOME TALK
Introducing Platform Leaders.
3:10 pm - 3:50 pm
PLATFORM IMPACT
Platforms are playing an increasingly important social and economic role that will further increase post covid. This session will explore how platforms have fared and adapted during covid, their increasing contribution to resilient ecosystems and how they may contribute to a sustainable economic recovery.
3:50 pm - 4:30 pm
PLATFORM REGULATION
Like all businesses platforms are subject to competition law as well as a range of regulatory obligations (including for example data privacy). Some policy makers are now arguing that platforms may require additional scrutiny. This panel will explore the challenges associated with the regulation of platforms and ecosystems, and discuss the latest thinking of EU and UK policy makers.
4:30 pm - 4:40 pm
CONFERENCE BREAK
An illustrated summary of the first two panels by Louise Plantin. Louise studied illustration and comic art at the École Estienne in Paris and at the École des Beaux Arts in Angoulême works with large companies, start-ups and publishing houses.
4:40 pm - 5:20 pm
PLATFORM GOVERNANCE
Unlike traditional businesses platforms orchestrate complex ecosystems and co-create value with their participants. This panel will explore the governance principles of platforms, the challenges associated with ecosystem management and the importance of trust.
5:20 pm - 5:30 pm
CONFERENCE WRAP UP
Closing remarks and key insights from the three panels.
