“Our industry is in the midst of market-altering changes that are re-shaping the landscape for the builders, sellers and buyers of technology solutions,” said Kelly Ricker, CompTIA’s executive vice president for events and education.

Many are looking for a trusted partner to help them make the right choice from a myriad of options.”
