Dina Kallay

Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Antitrust Division, US Department of Justice

The United States’ leadership in critical technologies is not guaranteed. It depends on strong, principled policies that promote innovation, competition, and global standards.

Hudson will host a lunch conversation with Dina Kallay, deputy assistant attorney general for international, policy and appellate at the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice. The conversation will explore the latest developments at the intersection of antitrust, technology standards, and patents—and why these pillars are essential to keeping the United States at the forefront of global innovation in key sectors.
