CRN's 30th Anniversary

CRN's 30th Anniversary celebration is a look back the technology channel over the last three decades, examining the key figures and events that shaped the technology industry.

CRN's 30th Anniversary

CRN is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. It's an occasion which we are very proud of and plan on commemorating in a few ways throughout the rest of 2012. For starters, we're recognizing two special groups within the channel: 30 IT executives who have been the business for at least 30 years and 30 more channel leaders who are in their 30s.

In the coming months on CRN.com, we'll reflect on the changes and advancements in technology and take a trip down memory lane as we reminisce on the companies and personalities that shaped the industry over the past three decades. We will also be showcasing a variety of videos featuring the honorees from the groups mentioned above.

Join us as we celebrate 30 years of covering technology and providing analysis to those in the industry.
