Twentieth International Unicode Conference
January 28-31, 2002
Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington, DC
Invitation to Exhibit
THE CONFERENCE:
The Unicode Standard has become the foundation for all modern text
processing. It is used on large machines, tiny portable devices, and
for distributed processing across the Internet. The standard brings
cost-reducing efficiency to international applications and enables the
exchange of text in an ever increasing list of natural languages.
New technologies and innovative Internet applications, as well as the
evolving Unicode Standard, bring new challenges along with their new
capabilities. This technical conference will explore the opportunities
created by the latest advances and how to leverage them, as well as
potential pitfalls to be aware of, and problem areas that need further
research.
Conference attendees will include managers, software engineers, systems
analysts, font designers, graphic designers, content developers,
technical writers, and product marketing personnel, involved in the
development, deployment or use of Unicode software or content, and the
globalization of software and the Internet.
