What is SCSIM
Southern California SIM (SCSIM) is the largest IT leadership association in California. We offer a collaborative environment where members can build trusted relationships and learn from colleagues, esteemed guest speakers and respected thought leaders. We are a dynamic community of senior IT leaders and practitioners and represent a diverse cross section of corporate cultures and missions.
We recognize the complexity of the office of the CIO and the unique needs of our community. Our members meet regularly throughout the year to share their experiences with the latest topics and trends impacting their organizations . Our networking events foster face to face meetings in the form of focused dinners, full day forums and an annual holiday party.
Enclaves
SCSIM Enclaves provide Executive leaders a community for learning and sharing our experiences and challenges. Enclaves are geographically focused and provide an intimate dinner setting where 10 to 18 peers can engage in open dialogue.
