About Event

Making a Difference in Metro Detroit

On behalf of SIM Detroit, the summit steering committee, and its advisory board, we invite you to support our community by sponsoring the SIM Detroit Leadership Summit on October 22, 2024, in the amazing One Campus Martius “Elevate” event space.

Our summit will bring together many great IT leaders and thinkers, with a focus on key players from the Michigan region to network, discover the latest technology trends, and share ideas. While there are many technology conferences, the unique aspect of this conference is that all the profits will be used to support SIM Detroit and its charitable initiatives, including scholarships and programming intended to strengthen Metro Detroit’s technology community, and help those who have the desire, but not the means, to pursue a career in a STEM-related field.

As with any conference hosted in the marketplace today, we need your support to be successful. By supporting our summit, the benefits to your organization are amplified: exposure to Michigan’s technology leaders and the satisfaction of knowing your sponsorship dollars will help to benefit those who need it most.
