World Telecommunication and Information Society Day has been celebrated annually on 17 May since 1969, marking the date of the founding of International Telecommunications  Union and the signing of the first International Telegraph Convention in 1865. On 27 March 2006, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 60/252, proclaiming 17 May as World Information Society Day to focus global attention annually on bringing the enormous benefits of the digital revolution in ICTs to the world’s inhabitants.

The theme for WTISD-19 is “Sustainable Development Goals to Bridge the Standardization Gap”. The theme would allow ITU Membership to focus on the work that the Union has done and will continue to do to ensure that developing countries are increasing their ability to contribute to, and benefit from, the important ICT standardization work and thereby contribute to achieving the sustainable development goals. It would allow Membership to highlight the benefits of globally harmonized standards – and the risks associated if standardization work is not being driven in a more inclusive way.
