The IT Trends Study Team is already working on the 38th Anniversary IT Trends Study and plan to make it the best one ever.  Porter Rice has started raising prize money for the SIM Chapter Challenge Contest and we hope to offer more and even larger prizes for the winning chapters<http://www.simnet.org/resource/group/470dc05e-ba88-42d9-bc81-80a5ba4abc8e/sim_articles/IT_Trends_Study_-_SIM_Connec.pdf>.

So if you think your organization, or perhaps one of your clients, suppliers, or customers, may be interested in sponsoring next year's study, details are available on the study website<http://www.simnet.org/IT-Trends> (here too<http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.simnet.org/resource/group/470dc05e-ba88-42d9-bc81-80a5ba4abc8e/sponsorship/SIM_IT_Trends_Study_2017_-_S.pdf>) or contact Porter at price at simnet.org<mailto:price at simnet.org>.
