About World Telecommunication and Information Society Day

World Telecommunication and Information Society Day is one of the international days on the United Nations list. The UN uses these days to draw attention to an issue and to what people around the world are doing about it.

In 2027 it falls on a Monday; in 2028 it’s on Wednesday 17 May, and in 2029 on Thursday 17 May. Because it’s a Monday this time, wherever it’s a day off it makes a long weekend of at least three days. Also in May 2027: Norwegian Constitution Day (17 May), National Walnut Day (17 May) and Internet Day (17 May). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.

How we work out the date
It’s on 17 May every year, as set by the United Nations.
