Sponsorship Opportunities

The Chapter's bylaws limit the percentage of technology service and product partners ("vendors") who can become members in the Chapter. SIM Chicago recognizes the value of its vendor partners and has created avenues for active vendor participation with the Chapter through selective sponsorships of its meetings and events.
