The world as we know it would not exist if it weren't for IT professionals and their brilliance. They have contributed to creating cellphones, computers, applications, and just about everything we use these days. These professionals are basically the backbone of the modern world. Spend the day thanking your favourite IT geeks for all their efforts and dedication. If you'd like to get into the field, this is also a great day to start learning about all the accomplishments of these great people. If you are an IT geek, this is also the time for you to share the inner workings of the programs and projects you have worked on and contributed to.

National IT Professionals Day is celebrated on the third Tuesday of every September.

National IT Professionals Day was founded in March of 2015 by Solarwinds, a provider of high quality and affordable IT management software.
