United Business Media plc is a British company headquartered at Ludgate House in London, England. The company provides business information services to the technology, healthcare, media, automotive, and financial services industries.

The company owns a variety of business-to-business publications and exhibitions through its subsidiaries.

In September 2006, United Business Media plc sold a group of magazines and related media assets from its US-based subsidiary CMP Technology to The Wicks Group of Companies LLC for US $47 million. The portfolio was predominately print media (85% of 2005 revenues) and included titles such as Guitar Player, Bass Player, Pro Sound News and Systems Contractor News. In the year ended 31 December 2005, the portfolio generated revenues of US $41.3 million.

In early 2008, United Business Media stopped using the names CMP Technology and CMP Media. In their place, it created the business names TechWeb (formerly InformationWeek and other properties), "Everything Channel" (formerly the CMP Channel), TechInsights (formerly the CMP Electronics Group), and "Think Services" (a grab bag of CMP Games, Dr. Dobb's and other services).

United Business Media is a major shareholder of the British services Channel Five, ITN and The Press Association (the leading news agency in the United Kingdom and Ireland).

United Business Media has operations in Europe, Asia and North and South America.
