                                April 24-27, 2001

                              Invitation to Exhibit

  THE CONFERENCE:

    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 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.
