The Channel Company, global provider of news, insights, strategy, events, and marketing services for the technology industry announces the acquisition of The Confer Group, a US-based IT executive membership community. This acquisition brings significant new opportunities to The Confer Group members and enables The Channel Company to continue to invest in expanding its IT leadership audience.
The founders of The Confer Group have had a vision of connecting IT leaders and to innovative solutions at a time when face-to-face events were difficult or impossible. Over the past 18 months, The Confer Group has brought together hundreds of executives and solution providers in virtual workshops, product demos, industry panels, and peer roundtables.
Julie Quintero-Schulz, CEO and Co-Founder of The Confer Group, said, “This acquisition creates new avenues for The Confer Group’s network that expand its original mission: hosting impactful conversations and providing timely insights to foster the partnerships our members rely on to be successful — even when time and distance keep us apart.”
Through joining The Channel Company family, Confer members will have expanded access to industry-leading IT events, online communities, powerful research, the latest IT news and future trends through its Mid-Size Enterprise Services and Computing brands.
Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company, said, “This acquisition is an example of the investment we are making in the services and opportunities we provide to the end-user community. We welcome members of The Confer Group’s network and look forward to engaging with them through our online leadership communities, in-person events, and other services that accelerate their innovation.”
