Tenth International Unicode Conference
and
Global Computing Showcase
Europe, Software + the Internet: Going Global with Unicode
March 10-12, 1997
Mainz, Germany
*********************************************************************
The Tenth International Unicode Conference will bring together
industry-wide experts on the global Internet and Unicode,
internationalization and localization, implementation of Unicode in
operating systems and applications, fonts, text layout, and
multilingual computing.
The Conference will be held in Mainz, the German city where Johannes
Gutenberg created Europe's first book printed with movable type. The
information revolution that invention sparked in fifteenth century
Europe can be compared to the more recent revolution brought about by
the Internet. One important difference is that this time the effect
is not limited to any one continent, but is truly global.
