[**Industry Dive**](https://www.industrydive.com/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com)**, a D.C.-based leader in multi-market B2B audience development and high quality specialist digital content** with 10+ years of experience in delivering award-winning journalism, has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by [Informa PLC](https://www.informa.com/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com), a leading international B2B markets, live and on-demand events and digital services group. The transaction is anticipated to close during the third quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approval and the satisfaction of other closing conditions.

This partnership, states a release, will add Industry Dive’s audience development expertise, B2B digital marketing capabilities and 27 specialist business publications across 20+ industries to Informa’s existing portfolio of specialist B2B brands, which serve customers through leading live and on-demand events, including Black Hat, Enterprise Connect, World of Concrete and Content Marketing World, as well as through specialist research, digital content and digital demand services.

Founded in 2012 by **Sean Griffey** and his two co-founders, **Ryan Willumson** and **Eli Dickinson**, Industry Dive delivers original news articles and analysis to carefully curated audiences of business leaders and decision-makers. Now, nearly 13 million executives and leaders, including readers at all of the Fortune 100 companies, get their news via 27 web-based publications and more than 70 daily and weekly email newsletters.

“Like Informa, Industry Dive champions the specialist,” said Informa Group Chief Executive, **Stephen A. Carter.** “Its high quality, targeted business insights have built an enviable following across a range of B2B markets which, when combined with our own portfolio of specialist B2B brands, will create more opportunities to grow B2B audiences, expand into new B2B markets and create value for customers.”

Industry Dive will remain a standalone business at Informa within its Informa Tech division, which is also home to NetLine, the leading B2B content syndication and lead management platform Informa acquired in 2021.
