About Event

Making a Difference in Metro Detroit

On behalf of SIM Detroit, the conference steering committee, and the conference advisory board, we invite you to join us at the Michigan Technology Leadership Summit on April 11th, 2024 at the amazing One Campus Martius Event Space 16th Floor.

The summit brings together many great IT leaders and thinkers, focusing on key players from the Michigan region to network, discover the latest trends in information technology and share ideas. While there are many technology conferences, the unique and most compelling aspect of this conference is that 100% of the profits will be given back to the community via charitable initiatives by SIM Detroit and our partner, Michigan Council of Women in Technology. These initiatives include scholarships and other programs intended to help the less fortunate and strengthen Metro Detroit’s technology position by educating those who have the desire – but not the means – to pursue a career in a STEM-related field.
