Summary

World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) is celebrated annually on May 17th to acknowledge advancements in telecommunication technology. The day was first established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in 1969, initially as World Telecommunications Day. In November 2005, the UN General Assembly declared it as World Information Society Day, and from March 2006 onwards, it has been celebrated annually as WTISD. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness about the potential of telecommunication in bridging societal gaps and supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Celebrations can vary from paying tribute to industry leaders to simply using technology to connect with others.
