 In 2015 ITU celebrates 150 years of innovating together and we've planned an exciting year of celebrations to mark this historic occasion. Each month will have its own theme linked to innovation and during this month we'll be bringing you inspiring stories, blogs, videos, online debates, insights, data and much more. There will always be at least one major event which will anchor our theme and regular ITU events which will also fully include ITU 150 celebrations in their activities and outreach. September focuses on ICTs Maritime and Aviation, highlighting the massive role and contribution of ITU in the field of navigation and safety. On the 24th of September we plan to work with partners to broadcast live from major shipping routes to celebrate World Maritime Day, showcasing the ITU radio communication bureau's contributions to the modern maritime sector. Through the theme Big Data and Innovation, October explores the importance of big data and the issue of cyber security. On International Disaster Risk Reduction Day on October 13th, watch our public lecture on Big Data and Disaster Risk Reduction linked to emergency telecommunications and the role of standards. On the 24th we join the international community in celebrating the 70th anniversary since the founding of the UN. We will explore the role of Big Data as a contributory factor to sustainable development and as a means to safeguard and measure advances in development. Enabling innovation is our November theme and this is when the ITU World Radio Communication Conference takes place. One of the most important events on the ITU calendar and a key contributor to enabling innovation. A video expert series will be released in November to highlight ITU technical achievements and innovations. On World Television Day on the 21st of November, ITU will take you behind the scenes, demystifying how ICT drives innovation in broadcasting. December marks the end of our year of birthday celebrations and we plan to place a special emphasis on broadband and the important outcomes of WRC and how they drive innovation and lay the foundations for future innovation. We hope you can join us along the way and we'd love to hear from you if you would like to join in during a particular thematic month event. Contact us at ITU 150 at ITU.int. Let's innovate together.
