SIM Interest Groups allow members to immediately connect with a network of fellow professionals and like-minded people from specialised fields. Join our interest groups and: 

• attend Interest Group activities at specially discounted rates and subsidised prices
• hear from guest speakers and leading professionals
• interact and exchange information with fellow practitioners
• participate in specially-organised networking events and company visits
• keep pace with the latest industry practices
• learn and share knowledge and experiences with other members at regular activities or through our e-communities.
