<p>Hello, UA Colleagues:<br>
<br>
I want to be sure this group sees the call for participation for
the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference, which takes place
this October 13-15, 2021, in Santa Clara, California, USA. Do you
want to propose a talk? If so, the deadline is next Friday, March
19, in the UTC-8 timezone.<br>
<br>
Many of you know the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference.
For those who don't, it is a gathering of those who define The
Unicode Standard for text, as well as architects of fonts, text
rendering, and beyond that into software engineering aspects of
internationalisation and localisation. About 100% of the audience
are solidly in favour of the values and goals of Universal
Acceptance. However, much fewer than 100% know what the Universal
Acceptance Group does, and what the current successes and
obstacles are. I think Universal Acceptance should not be absent
from this conference.<br>
<br>
If anyone has questions about this conference, I have been
attending for many years, and I would be happy to answer them.
Others on this list are probably even more expert than I am.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
—Jim DeLaHunt, software engineer, Vancouver, Canada<br>

invites you to submit your session,

Internationalization & Unicode®
Conference (IUC 45)</strong> in Santa
Clara, California, October 13-15, 2021.</p>
<p align="left">As we continue to navigate our
way through COVID-19 protocols, we are
starting to finally see some light at the
end of the tunnel! With ever-increasing
awareness, better understanding, more
established community policies, as well as
accelerating vaccination efforts, companies
are starting to once again plan for 2021
face-to-face events. IUC 45 will be no
different. We will continue to monitor the
severity of the COVID crisis moving forward
and shift to alternate planning if
necessary. As for now, the goal is to see
everyone face to face in Santa Clara, CA!</p>
<p align="left">Join other industry leaders as
they map the future of internationalization,
ignite new ideas, and showcase the latest
technologies and best practices for
creating, managing, and testing global, web,
and multilingual software solutions. Be a
leader. Direct the future of multilingual
text and software internationalization!
Submission types may include case studies,
best practices, innovative technology, or
presentations about evolving standards, to
name a few. In addition, understanding the
design of a development platform is often
critical to implementing best practices in
applications. The Internationalization and
Unicode Conference seeks to offer technical
tutorials on the internationalization
capabilities and architecture of development
platforms, including Mobile, Desktop, Cloud,
and Virtual Operating Systems, Social
Network Platforms, and Machine Translation
and
Machine Learning Systems.</p>
