1. THE EVIAN GROUP@IMD
How can your organization navigate the regulatory labyrinth?
Complex national and international regulations are on the rise and are significantly impacting all
industries. Areas like the environment, competition, transfer pricing, market access, and data
protection are just a few that are drawing more scrutiny.
IMD is hosting a daylong interactive conference on October 22 titled "Regulation and License to
Operate" where experienced practitioners from various industries will share their industry
examples on how to successfully navigate the regulatory process.
The event will provide regulator, policy-maker and business perspectives on the regulatory
advocacy approach as well as explore questions such as:
» How can regulators better incorporate business concerns?
» How can international rules or standards best be leveraged to influence national regulations?
» What can business do differently to have its voice heard when it matters most?
Sessions focus on topics such as how to influence policy, use potentially threatening regulation to
your advantage or deal with unintended consequences once new laws are passed.

2. Eduardo Pérez Motta, former President of the Mexican Federal Competition Commission will give
the keynote address drawing on his vast regulatory experience in the telecom, financial services,
and energy sectors.
Other panelists include leaders and authorities from multinational companies, governments,
international organizations, regulators and academia.
IMD Professors Carlos A. Primo Braga, Didier Cossin and Jean-Pierre Lehmann will moderate the
event.
