History of Unicode® Conferences and Workshops
The Internationalization and
Unicode Conferences started as a series of workshops in San José and
elsewhere, held at member company locations. As they became larger and
were held more regularly, the workshops turned into conferences professionally organized under
license from the Unicode Consortium. Since 2006, they have
been organized by Object Management Group (OMG).
For information about the latest conference, programs, and other details, see the
Internationalization and Unicode Conferences website.
See also the past conferences archive, which contains information about
the programs and presenters for all prior conferences organized by OMG.
