Twentieth International Unicode Conference (IUC20) Unicode and the Web: The Global Connection http://www.unicode.org/iuc/iuc20 January 28-31, 2002 Washington, DC, USA
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.

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.
