Since 1985, our CIO Roundtables have provided IT Leaders the opportunity to share ideas and build professional connections with other CIOs in a relaxed, informal setting. Access to these invitation-only events is one of the most popular perks of a SIM Boston membership. Attendance is limited to members (and guests) who are currently the IT Leader for their organization (and those in transition).
Eligible chapter members are invited to attend these quarterly meetings held in the Boston and surrounding areas. Roundtables typically begin at 1:30 pm at a SIM Boston member’s company and are hosted by the CIO.
