 ********************************************************************

 The Internet and the World Wide Web continue to change the shape of
 computing.  The goal of network computing and understandable text
 access across wide, diverse groups of people has brought great
 momentum to computing environments that build Unicode into their
 foundation.  Whether it's Internet commerce, network access to data,
 or highly portable applications, Unicode makes a solid foundation
 for the network, global enterprises, and software users everywhere.

 The Eighteenth International Unicode Conference (IUC18) will address
 topics ranging from Unicode use in the World Wide Web and in
 operating systems and databases, to the latest developments with
 Unicode 3.0, Java, Open Source, XML and Web protocols.  Conference
 attendees will include managers, software engineers, systems
 analysts, and product marketing personnel responsible for the
 development of software supporting Unicode, as well as those
 involved in all aspects of the globalization of software and the
 Internet.

 In planning IUC18, we have worked closely with the organisers of the
 Tenth International World Wide Web Conference (WWW10), to schedule
 the two events in consecutive weeks, enabling participants to attend
 both conferences, with a weekend in between to enjoy Hong Kong.  To
 find out more about WWW10, follow the link on the IUC18 Web site.
