Are you falling behind? Version 4.0 of the Unicode Standard is here!
Software and Web applications can now support more languages with
greater efficiency and lower cost. Do you need to find out how? Do
you need to be more competitive around the globe? Is your software
upward-compatible with version 4.0? Does your staff need
internationalization training?
Learn about software and Web internationalization and the new Unicode
Standard, including its latest features and requirements. This is
the only event endorsed by the Unicode Consortium. The conference
will be held September 3-5, 2003 in Atlanta, Georgia and is
completely updated.

THE UNICODE CONSORTIUM
The Unicode Consortium was founded as a non-profit organization in 1991.
It is 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. In addition to cooperating with ISO on the future development of
ISO/IEC 10646, the Consortium is responsible for providing character
properties and algorithms for use in implementations. Today the
membership base of the Unicode Consortium includes major computer
corporations, software producers, database vendors, research
institutions, international agencies and various user groups.
For further information on the Unicode Standard, visit the Unicode Web
site at http://www.unicode.org
