The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will host a workshop focused on employee noncompete agreements. The event will include statements from FTC Commissioners, individuals affected by noncompete agreements, and experts in the field. A detailed agenda and a list of speakers are expected to be released before the event.
This workshop is part of the FTC's ongoing efforts to address the effects of noncompete agreements on American workers. The initiative follows recent enforcement actions by the FTC aimed at removing restrictive and anticompetitive noncompete clauses. Additionally, the FTC has sent letters to healthcare companies urging them to review and eliminate such agreements where they exist. The agency has also requested information from the public to help identify potential cases for further enforcement.
The event is open to the public. Attendees who wish to participate in person are advised to arrive 15 minutes early for security screening and must bring valid identification. For those preferring to join remotely, a livestream will be available on the event’s webpage on the day of the workshop.
