CompTIA Opens Call for Speakers for ChannelCon 2018

CompTIA, the world's leading technology association, said today that it is accepting speaker proposals for ChannelCon 2018, the leading annual event in education, networking and partnerships in the information technology (IT) industry.

ChannelCon 2018 is scheduled for July 31 through August 2 in Washington, D.C.

"This year's conference will explore 'The Business of Technology,'" said Kelly Ricker, executive vice president of events and education for CompTIA.

"We will approach the issue from the point of view of the technology provider, be it a traditional technology company or a new entrant in the market that has built its business in the cloud as part of the whole world as a service," Ricker explained.

"The other half of the equation is the prospect of the buyer, who has more options than ever for technology solutions that change companies, but often he needs the help of a reliable partner to help him go through the myriad of options."

CompTIA is looking for speaker proposals for two tracks of the ChannelCon conference: the general education program and Track4Techs, which is aimed at individual IT professionals and CompTIA certification holders.
