Applications are now open as CRN expands its Women of the Channel project with the launch of a dedicated EMEA list for 2026

CRN is excited to announce the launch of its inaugural Women of the Channel EMEA list for 2026.

The launch marks a significant expansion of CRN’s Women of the Channel programme, introducing a dedicated EMEA edition designed to reflect the growing breadth and maturity of channel leadership across international markets.

The 2026 Women of the Channel EMEA list will spotlight women executives whose work is shaping the IT channel across the region, highlighting leadership, strategic influence and measurable impact across vendors, distributors, solution providers and the wider channel ecosystem.

This builds on CRN’s commitment to recognising leadership and influence across the IT channel, providing a platform for visibility, recognition and industry-wide acknowledgement.

By introducing a dedicated EMEA edition for 2026, CRN aims to better reflect the evolving leadership landscape across the global channel and highlight the women helping to shape its future.

Those selected for the 2026 list will be published online by CRN, with editorial profiles recognising individual achievements and contributions to the channel over the past year.

CRN is inviting applications from women working across the IT channel ecosystem, including vendor channel organisations, distributors, MSPs, solution providers and related channel roles. Applicants should demonstrate a clear leadership remit within their organisation and a tangible role in shaping channel direction and outcomes.

The submission deadline is Friday 26 June 2026 at 11:59pm BST.
