How do I manage the events calendar?

Have an event you’d like to advertise to the Channel community? Adding an event will post it to Channel Program’s Industry Calendar for all to see.

Once the event is submitted, it will be reviewed by a member of the Channel Program team. Once reviewed they will publish the event, upon approval of course.

Adding events, can only be completed a company (Vendor) profile admin.
