History

In 1971, Gerard "Gerry" Leeds and his wife, Lilo, founded the company in Manhasset, New York. Their sons Michael and Daniel managed the company in 1988, and launched TechWeb. CMP Media acquired McGraw-Hill Information Technology and Communications Group in 1998.[2]

CMP Media was sold to United Business Media's Miller Freeman in 1999 and in 2000, the IT portion of Miller Freeman was merged into CMP. CMP Channel (including CRN) was spun off as UBM Channel and later went into management buyout as The Channel Company in 2013.[3]

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.[4]

Black Hat Briefings was acquired in 2005.[5][6]

In May 2006, CMP Media changed its name to CMP Technology.[7]

In 2008, United Business Media broke CMP into pieces, merged the IT portion of CMP into UBM TechWeb and the electronics portion into UBM Electronics. "Today, the name is gone and what's left of the company is part of the British media conglomerate, UBM plc," according to Newsday.[11]

In September 2010, Canon Communications announced[12] that it had agreed to be acquired by United Business Media and the deal was completed[13] in October 2010 at which point the company was renamed UBM Canon. Electronics part of Canon (including EDN) later merged into UBM Electronics.[14]
