>Committee, I would like to invite you to participate in the Usability and 
>Internationalization Conference in association with HCII 2005, which will

>As industries expand into global markets, designers and developers are 
>becoming more concerned with the needs of culturally diversified target 
>users. This makes internationalization and localization one of the key 
>concerns in their minds, and gives a new twist on how we approach 
>usability globally.
>
>Join experts from around the world to understand the impact of 
>internationalization on user interface design, share experiences in 
>designing for global markets, and understand the future trends in 
>internationalization. This technical conference will explore the 
>opportunities created by the latest advances in HCI and how to leverage 
>them for global users, as well as potential pitfalls to be aware of, and 
>problem areas that need further research. There will also be 
>demonstrations of best practices for designing applications that can 
>accommodate any language. Attendees benefit from the wide range of basic 
>to advanced topics and the opportunities for dialog and idea-exchange with 
>experts in the field. The conference features tutorials, lectures, and 
>panel discussions that provide coverage of standards, best practices, and 
>recent advances in the internationalization and usability of user 
>interfaces for software applications and the Internet.
