Dear DHers,
The third Unicode Technical Workshop (UTW) will take place this year in Mountain View, California, from Nov. 11-13. Presentations on script and character encoding topics, rendering, fonts and keyboards - especially
for lesser-used scripts and languages - are encouraged. The UTW is a great opportunity to meet those implementing scripts and characters and to discuss issues you or your project may be facing.
The abstract submission process is very light and this year there is a discount for academics. Presentations are in-person only. The deadline for presentation submissions is Thursday, 31 July. The meeting
this year will have one day devoted to tutorials.

Description
Join us for three days of community building around the Unicode technology that makes software work for billions of people. Expect three days of workshops, seminars, free-form discussions, and lightning talks
centered around i18n libraries, locale data frameworks, globalization tooling, localization pipelines, input methods, and text rendering. Network with the developers and users to help shape the future of Unicode technology.
This event will focus on building more connections within the internationalization community. Expect to come away with deeper knowledge on how to solve tough problems in the i18n and l10n space and how to
engineer products that work better for global users. GILT professionals, especially those who build or use Unicode technologies, are encouraged to attend and to host sessions. To encourage maximum collaboration amongst the attendees, this is an in-person-only
event.
