What Information Technology Industry Council does

The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) is a private, membership-based trade association founded in 1916 and headquartered in Washington, D.C. It describes itself as the premier global advocate for technology, representing the world's most innovative technology companies. Its membership roster includes Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and OpenAI, among other hardware, software, services, platform, and semiconductor firms. The organization is led by President and CEO Jason Oxman and operates as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit funded primarily through member dues, with global advocacy teams based in Washington D.C., Brussels (Europe), Delhi (India), and Seoul (Asia-Pacific).

ITI's core offering is not a software product but a portfolio of advocacy services, policy frameworks, and industry convening assets. Its deliverables include the ITI AI Accountability Framework, the ITI Policy Guide on Foundation Models and AI Value Chain, the AI Content Authentication Guide, Quantum Technologies Policy Principles, the Sustainable Technology Policy Guide, and the U.S. Public Sector AI Use Blueprint. It also maintains the registered ITI VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template), which has become a de facto standard for translating Section 508 and other accessibility requirements into actionable testing criteria. The organization distributes these assets and policy positions through direct government relations, member working groups, The Intersect annual summit (held February 3, 2026 in Washington D.C.), the Download On Tech podcast, the ITI Insights newsletter, and joint advocacy with peer associations such as TechNet, CCIA, SIIA, Digital Europe, and the C2PA coalition.

Commercially, ITI monetizes primarily through recurring membership dues negotiated by company size and involvement level; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market is relationship-driven (sales-led) government affairs and member services rather than product sales, with concentrated member bases of large-cap technology firms. The organization has been actively expanding its policy footprint in 2026 through new frameworks on supply chain resilience and energy policy, state-level public affairs hires, and deepened engagement in South Asia and G7 digital cooperation forums.
