Informa Telecoms & Media acquires Keynote World Media

Informa Telecoms & Media has completed the acquisition of Bristol-based Keynote World Media, which owns and runs the Cloud Computing World Forum events series.

The Cloud Computing World Forum main event with 7,000+ attendees registered, takes place in June in Earls Court, and is the UK’s largest Enterprise IT Cloud specific event. The World Forum is now in its fourth year and the business has a successful regional series of events spanning five continents.

Ian Hemming, CEO of Informa Telecoms & Media, commented, “I am particularly pleased about bringing Keynote into the ITM fold as it provides us with an excellent opportunity to grow an already successful London event and to use our expertise to build similar events around the world at a time when Cloud is just beginning to gain traction with IT Departments. This asset will also enable us to build our presence (and profits) across Industry Research and Ovum, Publishing and Training in this burgeoning niche. 

This move is in keeping with our strategy of being the number one player in our sector, of keeping our business aligned with quality in fast-moving and high growth markets and of providing opportunities to grow profits in all formats and geographies in our market facing division.”
