IT Professionals Day is fast approaching, and this year we wanted to do something a little different to recognize the folks in this community. It’s no secret that IT can be a thankless job. You typically only hear from someone when there is a problem, and most people are not aware of the hard work it takes to secure, manage, and maintain technology.
That’s why IT Professionals Day was first created back in 2015: to celebrate, appreciate, and raise visibility of the people who keep technology – and our lives – running smoothly at work and at home.
In the spirit of honoring IT professionals, we want to hear from you! We all have those folks throughout our careers whose influence has shaped us. We invite you to comment below and recognize a colleague who has inspired you, so we can champion our heroes of IT together.
You may note that we’re celebrating IT Professionals Day a little early this year. This is because the Meraki team will be featuring some of the IT heroes you call out here on our social channels on Tuesday, September 17th. Make sure to follow Meraki on LinkedIn, X, or Instagram and look for the hashtag #ITProfessionalsDay to see your posts!
