The SIM Technology Showcase offers an experience far
different from large industry trade shows, says SIM Group CEO Rob Sim. “Our
event is more intimate and informal,” he explains. “People have an opportunity
to talk one-on-one with manufacturers and get their questions answered. It’s
also a lot of fun. It’s a chance to reconnect with old friends and make new friends.
The event grows bigger every year.”
