ABOUT CHANNEL CHAT

Julie Nicholson episode for cc website (4)
Hosted by Marc Sumner, CEO of IT channel recruitment agency Robertson Sumner, Channel Chat is a global technology media platform built around one core belief: the most valuable conversations happen when industry leaders speak openly.

What began as a podcast has evolved into a trusted platform connecting technology vendors, distributors, MSPs, partners, investors and executives across international markets.

Our mission is simple: create conversations worth listening to.

Through podcasts, events, video content and industry engagement, we bring together the people shaping the future of technology and the global partner ecosystem.

From London to Dubai and beyond, Channel Chat provides a stage for authentic perspectives, meaningful debate and lasting industry connections.

WHY WE EXIST

The technology industry moves fast, but meaningful conversations are often difficult to find.

Channel Chat exists to provide technology leaders with a platform to share experiences, challenge conventional thinking and discuss the opportunities shaping the future of the industry.

We believe the best insights come from real conversations, not scripted presentations. We connect these conversations with our global audience, helping industry leaders learn from one another and share ideas across regions, markets and cultures.
