Partner Program
SIM's Partner Program is an excellent opportunity for companies to assume a leadership role in SIM, improving the value of the association and advancing the industry as a whole. As the only IT professional association focused on cross-industry IT management, strategic issues and professional development, SIM provides its partners with the opportunity to achieve substantial visibility with SIM’s membership of 3,000 leading IT decision-makers.
Fostering teamwork between IT senior management and industry product/service providers, the program offers mutually beneficial opportunities, including:
- Participation in an on-going intellectual exchange with CIOs, CTOs, and senior IT executives.
- Visibility and name recognition among corporate-level executives.
- Influence in the direction of SIM and SIM positions.
- Opportunity to demonstrate thought leadership through events, collaborative projects and discussion forums.
SIM is committed to working closely with each organization. Therefore, participation in this elite group must be limited, although applications are always accepted. The annual Partner Program offers one year (January 1 through December 31) of SIM-concentrated member awareness with the option to renew.
