Slides & more! Internationalization and Unicode Conference Presentations

 

The Internationalization and Unicode Conference is held in Silicon Valley every year, in October or November. Many IMUG members, speakers, and friends share their expertise at this event. You'll find links to more details about the next "IUC" on the professional training and events page, and there's more about the Unicode Consortium on our online resources page.

Beginning with IUC40 (2016), the organizers are archiving presentation slides on the conference website:
