Channel leaders 2025: Entry deadline extended

Attention channel leaders! The deadline to apply CRN UK and CRN Asia’s Channel Leaders 2025 list is being extended.

You now have until 14 February to submit your completed form.

Due to significant demand and an influx of entries in the final week, we’re giving you two more weeks to consult your colleagues, reminisce over your achievements and press send on that application.

The Channel Leaders 2025 list celebrates the most innovative, impactful, and inspiring figures across the EMEA and APAC regions.

Whether you’ve redefined the way your company works with partners, spearheaded groundbreaking initiatives, or championed diversity and sustainability in the channel, this is your chance to be recognised among the industry’s best.

Don’t let imposter syndrome hold you back—we want to hear about your best work in the past year.

It’s about showcasing the real difference you’ve made to your business, your partners, and the channel.

We’re looking for compelling examples of leadership, strategy, and impact.

If you’ve been involved or have led initiatives that have driven growth, improved partner relationships, or navigated complex challenges, we want to hear about it.

Need some inspiration? Last year’s honorees included leaders who pioneered cutting-edge partner enablement programmes, forged new routes to market, and made bold moves into emerging technologies.

Many of them credited the list with boosting their visibility and opening doors to new opportunities.

Use this extra time wisely. Collaborate with your teams, polish your application, and make sure your contributions shine.

Submissions close at midnight on 14 February, and we won’t be extending the deadline again (we mean it this time).

Join us in celebrating the exceptional talent that makes the channel thrive. Apply now and make 2025 the year your leadership gets the spotlight it deserves.
