UPCOMING EVENTS
June 3-5, 2025.
Malmö, Sweden.
LocWorld53
Description
We are pleased to announce that the Unicode Consortium will be onsite at LocWorld53 from June 3-5, 2025 in Malmö, Sweden.
On June 3rd, Unicode will offer two training sessions designed specifically for localization specialists. These sessions provide a comprehensive introduction to software internationalization (i18n) and Unicode technologies.
While each session stands independently, they are also complementary. Session 1 offers a beginner-friendly overview, while Session 2 dives deeper into practical implementation. Whether you're new to i18n or looking to refine your skills, these sessions will equip you with the knowledge and tools to collaborate effectively with developers and create globally accessible software.
November 11-13, 2025.
San Francisco Bay Area. (Hosted at Microsoft).
Unicode Technology Workshop (UTW 2025)
Description
Join us for three days of community building around the Unicode technology that makes software work for billions of people. Expect three days of 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.
This event will focus on building more connections within the internationalization community. Expect to come away with deeper knowledge on how to solve tough problems in the i18n and l10n space and how to engineer products that work better for global users. GILT professionals, especially those who build or use Unicode technologies, are encouraged to attend and to host sessions. To encourage maximum collaboration amongst the attendees, this is an in-person-only event.
