We look forward to seeing many of you at Microsoft’s Silicon Valley campus in California for one, two, or all three days of community building around the Unicode technology that makes software work for billions of people.
Expect 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.
You will come away with deeper knowledge on how to solve tough problems in the i18n and l10n space and how to design and engineer products that work better for global users.
