CRN Sales & Marketing Awards 2021 | Incisive Media | 9 April 2021 | TBA

These prestigious awards will recognise and reward the achievements of those individuals and teams that are responsible for making the UK IT channel truly great. The sales and marketing teams sit at the heart of many successful channel businesses and these awards are there to recognise their efforts. The CRN Sales & Marketing Awards will focus on innovation, evolution and development; qualities that all vendors, distributors and resellers should be striving for.

Now, more than ever, the industry needs to celebrate the positives, and recognise the outstanding achievements of individuals and teams in what is definitely the most challenging time we have ever faced. There are 23 categories to choose from this year, some have been tweaked to reflect that move to a more online and remote approach to working and events, but please do read the criteria for each category fully before starting an entry: it is there as a handy guide and explains exactly what the judges will be looking for.
