November 26, 1992, the first International Forum of Informatization was opened. Two years later, the International Informatization Academy initiated the establishment of a special holiday dedicated to the enormous role of information in our world. Its date was decided to coincide with the anniversary of the opening of the forum. The initiative was supported by the World Informational Parliament and other public organizations. Since 1994, this event is officially celebrated annually throughout the civilized world. Everywhere there are various forums, symposiums and other events, where the importance of information in our society is discussed, the issues related to its processing, transmission, control.
