Who We Are:
The Global Technology Industry Association (GTIA) is the only vendor-neutral, non-profit membership community connecting and representing the worldwide IT channel. We set our members up for success by providing benefits that include trusted resources and networking opportunities. In addition, the association sets industry standards that enable companies to build sustainable, secure, and profitable businesses in an ever-changing technology landscape. Internationally, GTIA represents tens of thousands of professionals from more than 2,000 MSPs, solution providers, vendors, distributors, and other companies serving the channel.
We were formerly known as the CompTIA Community (the membership arm of CompTIA). The association was renamed as GTIA in 2025, but that’s not where our story begins. Our association has a long history of serving businesses in the IT channel and technology professionals.
Through education, training, philanthropy, and market research, GTIA promotes industry growth; we are committed to creating an environment where innovation happens and the opportunities and benefits made possible by technology are available to all.
