I would have to say (as someone who is presenting at both of them!) that it really depends on the platform upon which you are developing and to some extent how much you really feel you need to know about particular topics.
The GDDC will cover more info about Microsoft technologies than the IUC could possibly do, but the IUC casts a wider net and covers platforms beyond Windows, etc. Because of that, tts not even really good to consider it an either/or proposition (unless there are finanical reasons to do so) as each has a unique focus that allows them to complement each other.

I need to get up to speed quickly on globalization and localization. I've heard about the Unicode Conference and the Microsoft Global Development and Deployment Conference. Does anyone have any advice on which one would be more useful to attend? Tom
