SIMCAC's code of conduct is focused on maintaining a collaborative community, where technology leaders can connect with each other, develop themselves, and give back to the community. To facilitate that environment, SIMCAC prohibits selling by members, which includes attempting to 'sell' when there is any incentive other than collaborations in the discussion, including ownership, direct financial incentives, quid pro quo. This includes in-person and electronic communication.
SIMCAC does not allow vendors to become members of SIMCAC, instead referring them to sponsorship opportunities, to increase the welcoming culture of our chapter.
Sponsors are provided specific requirements around how selling happens, to sustain chapter operations while still facilitating a welcoming environment. For more information, please see the SIM Code of Conduct.
