Downers Grove, Ill. – Registration is open for ChannelCon 2018, the information technology (IT) industry’s premier annual education, networking and partnering event hosted by CompTIA, the world’s leading technology association.

ChannelCon 2018 will be held in Washington, D.C., July 31 through August 2.

The theme of this year’s conference is “The Business of Technology.”

“Our industry is in the midst of market-altering changes that are re-shaping the landscape for the builders, sellers and buyers of technology solutions,” said Kelly Ricker, CompTIA’s executive vice president for events and education.

“Traditional technology providers and new market entrants are competing for mindshare and market share while selling to a new breed of customer, who is just as likely to be a part of a business unit as the IT team,” Ricker continued.  “Buyers have more choices than ever for business-changing technology solutions. Many are looking for a trusted partner to help them make the right choice from a myriad of options.”

The education program at ChannelCon 2018 will deliver new ideas, strategies and tools that can immediately be put into action to help businesses grow and thrive. Program highlights include:
