PPI attended the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last week, where we were proud to host numerous events throughout the week, including a policy forum with elected leaders, a reception and watch party, and a two-part "Winning the Working Class" event with Axios. Our afternoon of policy programming centered around our Campaign for Working America, recently launched by former Rep. Tim Ryan, which is developing a new Blueprint of policy ideas oriented around the economic aspirations and moral concerns of working families. During panels and fireside chats with elected leaders, we discussed a policy framework to address what we see as the Democratic Party’s overriding political imperative: Regaining the allegiance of working-class Americans. Speakers across our events included: Governor Jared Polis (D-CO), Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO), Senator Gary Peters (D-MI), Rep. Nikki Budzinski (D-IL), Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-WA), Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY), and many more. Check out the full highlights from our week at the DNC! https://lnkd.in/eujzDrgF

Looking forward to participating in NABE’s Tech Economics 2024 conference in Seattle next Tuesday, October 29, 2024. It’s terrific to see such a diverse and expert group on our panel: AI Regulation and Impact on Innovation, with Amy Crews Cutts, Ondrej Linda, Pinar Yildirim, and moderator Nathan Hipsman.

These experts know the ingredients necessary for successful education reform, and they’ve just shared the recipe! Nancy Padberg, MBA, Bruno Manno, Shaka Mitchell, and Christy Wolfe made it clear how important K-12 reform is to the restoration of America's colleges and universities, and how we can apply the lessons we’ve learned in grade school in the university classroom. Only at the Givers, Doers, & Thinkers Conference!

Sharing my latest report at PPI: “In Search of a Competition Policy for the Digital Sector.” The report unpacks antitrust’s difficult relationship with, and the absence of a coherent competition policy for, an innovative and rapidly expanding sector. The analysis explores why this is the case. It evaluates numerous features of the digital sector. These include (1) the unique digital ecosystem business models and their economic features, (2) little merger control across several waves of consolidation (including cloud and AI), and (3) a delayed series of monopolization cases. The analysis has important implications for key next steps necessary to shape a coherent competition policy in the digital sector.
