Downers Grove, Ill. – CompTIA, the world’s leading technology association, today opened its call for speakers for ChannelCon 2019, the information technology (IT) industry’s premier annual conference for education, networking and partnering.
ChannelCon 2019 is scheduled for August 5 through 7 at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.
