About The Summit
On behalf of SIM Detroit, the conference steering committee, and the conference advisory board, we invite you to join us as a sponsor at the Michigan Technology Leadership Summit on April 10, 2025 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.
As with any conference hosted in the marketplace today, we need your help through sponsorship for this to be successful. By supporting this initiative, the benefits to your organization are amplified: exposure to Michigan’s technology leaders and the satisfaction of knowing your sponsorship dollars will benefit those who need it most.
We hope you will consider being part of this initiative that will build a stronger and more connected technology community and support critical programs that are important to the less fortunate in our area.
As a sponsor of the SIM Detroit Michigan Technology Leadership Summit, you will:
- Be given access to the full conference (non-sponsoring vendors will not be allowed to attend).
- Have the opportunity throughout the day to network face-to-face with conference attendees and demonstrate and/or share your innovative solutions.
- Be recognized as an organization committed to supporting and helping grow the region’s Information Technology industry.
Following, you will find specific sponsorship information for your review. Many of the sponsorship opportunities are limited, so please act now to ensure your participation in this world-class event.
Thank you in advance for your sponsorship,
CHUCK WILLIAMS, President, SIM Detroit
