Hello Unicoders,

Lisa Moore
Co-Chair
Thirteenth International Unicode Conference
Software Development + the Internet: Going Global with Unicode
September 8 - 11, 1998
San Jose, California
The Internet and the World Wide Web continue to change the shape
of computing. The goal of network computing and understandable
text access across wide, diverse groups of people has brought
great momentum to computing environments that build Unicode into
their foundation. Whether it's new internet commerce, network
access to data, or very portable applications, Unicode makes a
solid foundation for the network, global enterprises, and software
users everywhere.
The Thirteenth International Unicode Conference will address
topics ranging from Unicode and fonts to Unicode-based
multilingual Web servers and databases. Conference attendees
will include managers, software engineers, systems analysts, and
product marketing personnel responsible for the development of
software supporting Unicode/ISO 10646 as well as those involved
in all aspects of the globalization of software and the Internet.
