The Informa Channel team screens the bevy of applicants for accuracy and adherence to award guidelines before sending the group of finalists to this year’s prestigious judging panel who determine the winners. The MSP Summit and Channel Futures are part of Informa, a global events, digital services and academic research company, which recently announced a bid to purchase a majority stake in Tech Target.

Some categories will have multiple winners to reflect the breadth and depth of the channel partner organizations represented in the recently released MSP 501 and our Next Generation Partner lists, coming to Channel Futures in September. We will name and honor these winners Sept. 18 at the MSP 501 Awards Gala, part of Informa’s MSP Summit, Sept. 16-19, in Atlanta.
