ITI has an unparallel reputation for turning thought leadership into tangible action for its members. ITI members can participate in over 15 ITI committees that represent the industry and its priorities in domestic and global venues.
ITI has served the high tech industry longer than any other trade association, beginning in 1916 when it was founded in Chicago, Illinois as the National Association of Office Appliance Manufacturers.
ITI's members are global leaders in innovation--from all areas of the ICT sector including hardware, services, and software--the products our members create are the face of global economic growth and the heart and soul of improving peoples' lives.
The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) is the premier voice, advocate and thought leader for the information and communications technology (ICT) industry. ITI is widely recognized as the high-tech sector's most effective advocacy organization in Washington D.C., and in various foreign capitals around the world.

ITI is dedicated to advocating for its member companies through three main divisions, Environment and Sustainability, Global Policy, and Government Relations. In these divisions ITI engages in a broad range of issues, some of which include: corporate tax reform, trade, telecommunications, cybersecurity, energy efficiency, workforce and STEM initiatives, regulatory compliance, accessibility and environmental sustainability.
To help its member companies achieve their policy objectives, ITI builds relationships with Members of Congress, Administration officials and state and foreign governments; organizing industry-wide consensus on policy issues; and enables access to global markets by working to enact innovation-friendly government policies.
ITI is the only high-tech trade association that compiles a widely utilized Congressional scorecard - the ITI High-Tech Vote Guide. The guide serves as a report card for Members as well as a reflection of ITI’s legislative priorities. It is also the only technology related evaluation cited in the Almanac of American Politics.
As ICT innovation continues to propel global economic growth, impacting not
only the way businesses and governments are run, but also the everyday lives of
people worldwide, ITI will be there to represent the world's leading information
and communications technology companies.
