Connecting People, Technology, and Innovation to Achieve the Unimagined

Unwavering Commitment to Technology

Beginning

The roots of the Channel Company stretch back to 1982, when the first issue of CRN was published. CRN remains the No. 1 source of technology news, insights, and analysis for the IT channel today.

Evolution

Over the years, we've deepened our connection to the technology ecosystem through a broad portfolio of solutions and services. Our premier events, strategy, full-service marketing services, and communities power growth for our clients.

Our acquisition of Audienz in early 2021 brought a new dimension to how we help our clients accelerate business. The team's cloud marketing expertise strengthens our ability to help vendors and solution providers exceed their strategic, marketing, and sales goals.

In 2022, we expanded our portfolio of services worldwide, starting with the acquisition of bChannels. bChannels adds powerful new data-driven capabilities to broaden our clients’ partner networks and drive revenue. We acquired the technology portfolio of Incisive Media, which brings CRN and CRN UK together within the same company, as well as the Computing and Channel Partner Insight brands to elevate our global events capabilities. Finally, with our acquisition of Lauchlan, we continue to grow our marketing agency capabilities, scale creative and digital services globally and accelerate time to market for clients.

Accountability

We are passionate about our work and we are unwavering in our dedication to delivering an exceptional customer experience.

Giving Back to Our Communities

We believe in supporting the communities where we live and work. Our employees organize volunteer opportunities that bring us together outside of work to help local community organizations. Making a positive impact on our communities is deeply important to us.

At our events, Channel@Work brings together the IT community and our employees to give back to people and organizations in need of assistance in our host cities.
