UBM Technology Group

UBM Technology Group, formerly CMP Publications, was a business-to-business multimedia company that provided information and integrated marketing services to technology professionals worldwide. It offered marketers and advertisers services such as print, newsletters, custom web sites, and events. Its products and services include newspapers, magazines, Internet products, research, education and training, trade shows and conferences, direct marketing services and custom publishing.

Headquartered in San Francisco, California, UBM Technology Group was a part of UBM, a global business-to-business (B2B) events organiser which in turn owned by Informa and later absorbed into Informa TechTarget in 2024.

In 1971, Gerard "Gerry" Leeds and his wife, Lilo, founded the company as CMP Publications Inc. in Manhasset, New York. Their sons Michael and Daniel managed the company in 1988, and launched TechWeb in 1994. CMP Media went public in 1997.

CMP Media acquired McGraw-Hill Information Technology and Communications Group (including BYTE) in 1998.

CMP Media was sold to United News & Media's Miller Freeman in 1999, Miller Freeman subsequently sold CMP UK and France to VNU. VNU Business Publications was later acquired by Incisive Media in 2007.

In 2000, the US IT portion of Miller Freeman was merged into CMP. CMP Channel (including CRN US) was spun off as UBM Channel and later went into management buyout as The Channel Company in 2013. The Channel Company later acquired technology division of Incisive Media and gained rights to CRN UK in 2022.

The music portions of CMP and Miller Freeman were spun off as Music Player Network, which managed by CMP Entertainment Media. The gaming portion (including Gamasutra and Game Developer Conference) was grouped into CMP GamaNetwork in early 2001.

Black Hat Briefings was acquired in 2005.
