The Internationalization and Unicode Conference (IUC) is the premier technical
conference for software and multilingual computing, and it is your
source for the latest information on advances in the globalization of
software and the Internet. The 28th IUC features a number of
presentation formats including tutorials, workshops, lectures, and panel
discussions to support different learning styles
The release this
year of version 4.1 brings us closer to 100,000 characters in the
Unicode Character Standard. Leaders in Software and Web
Internationalization will share their expertise and best practices in
working with the expanding character set and identify new challenges and
opportunities in multilingual computing.
You are invited to
contribute to the discussion. All topics related to Unicode, software
and Web internationalization, and specific regional challenges are
relevant, but emphasis will be given to topics that fit this theme with
a focus on actual practice. The conference will also explore how to make
internationalization and localization more efficient even when extending
support to languages with complex processing and rendering behavior.
There will be a track devoted to localization standards, tools,
methodologies and techniques.
The conference web site has more
details and numerous example topics:

with TILP The Institute of Localisation Professionals (TILP) will chair
a track during the conference, devoted to localization standards, tools,
methodologies and techniques. Improving efficiencies in localization is
key to enabling cost-effective, quick-to-market support of new language
versions of software. Registration for the conference will grant access
to the TILP localization track. Speakers therefore will have
opportunities to reach a wider audience of localization and
internationalization management and professionals. We invite papers that
are appropriate for this expanded audience. Conference Attendees
Conference attendees are generally involved in either the development
and deployment of Unicode software, or the globalization of software and
the Internet. They include managers, software engineers, testers,
systems analysts, program managers, font designers, graphic designers,
content developers, web designers, web administrators, site
coordinators, technical writers, and product marketing personnel.
Exhibit Opportunities The Conference Showcase area is for corporations

The Unicode Consortium
The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit organization dedicated to the
development, maintenance and promotion of The Unicode Standard, a
worldwide character encoding. The Unicode Standard encodes the
characters of the world's principal scripts and languages, and is
code-for-code identical to the international standard ISO/IEC 10646. The
Consortium also defines character properties and algorithms for use in
implementations. The membership base of the Unicode Consortium includes
major computer corporations, software producers, database vendors,
research institutions, international agencies and various user groups.
