The CIM Users Group keeps meeting costs low through the sponsorship of CIM Meeting Hosts. Utilities, vendors, or R&D organizations may volunteer their facilities or they can help locate appropriate meeting room facilities. Hosts also help locate hotels and a local caterer for meals and the vendor hospitality event. CIMug covers most meeting costs, but the host's sponsorship makes the meetings very cost-effective for attendees.
For further details, contact the CIMug Vendor Co-Chair or Utility Co-Chair.
